    *Recipe originally shared July 2018 and updated March 2020*

    Have you ever had a cocktail with muddled fruit? If not, it will change your life! I still remember the first time I had muddled fruit in a cocktail and was like- HOLY WOW!

    Not only does it make this fresh blackberry cocktail pretty, but it adds awesome flavor too!

    Ingredients:

    Luckily there are only 6 ingredients needed to make this refreshing blackberry rum cocktail!

    • Fresh blackberries
    • Fresh mint
    • Rum (or vodka to make this as a blackberry vodka lemonade)
    • Lemonade
    • Soda water (or blackberry cider for a fun twist)
    • Ice

    Steps to make a blackberry lemonade cocktail:

    Making a simple fruit mojito at home is actually SO easy and it really makes the perfect summertime cocktail to entertain!

    I made this recipe a few years ago for my 27th Birthday party and actually served it in a big pitcher, so I know it can be a great make-ahead cocktail. It also happens to be incredibly easy to make in one glass for those days you just need a refreshing cocktail all to yourself.

    First, muddle the blackberries and mint

    This is where that fresh flavor comes from. For one cocktail I muddle ¼ cup fresh blackberries and about 3 springs of mint.

    If you're making muddled fruit cocktails often, I recommend investing in a Muddler. However, you could honestly do this step with a spoon if you don't have a muddler.

    Add in the rum, lemonade, and soda water

    After that, add in the rum. I use 1.5 oz per cocktail so it's not too strong. Next comes the lemonade and soda water.

    You could definitely use homemade lemonade here, but to make things easier I used store-bought lemonade. The lemonade I used was sweetened, but if you are looking for a lighter low-calorie cocktail an unsweetened lemonade will also work.

    After that comes the soda water! I used to use La Croix for this recipe, but we recently invested in a SODA STREAM to be more environmentally conscious. Can I just say- it is AWESOME!? Seriously it creates perfectly fizzy soda water in seconds and is also MUCH less expensive than buying soda in a can.

    I've also replaced the soda water in this recipe with Blackberry cider and OMG it was good. Definitely try that if you can find any!

    Add crushed ice & serve the mojitos

    I love this blackberry mint mojito with crushed ice! I know it sounds silly, but I truly think the style of ice you choose for your cocktails matters. For mojitos and my Tequila Smash I always use crushed ice.

    When it comes to my Peach Strawberry Sangria I prefer cubes of ice. Then, of course, there is my frozen Mango Jalapeño Margaritas where I want the ice blended right in!

    FAQ & Substitutions:

    Can I make a blackberry mojito mocktail?

    For sure! This recipe is also great for making a great homemade blackberry lemonade to enjoy on a warm summer night. Just omit the rum and the drink will still taste just as delicious.

    Will this mojito work with other berries?

    Also, yes! I have tried this combo with muddled raspberries and strawberries and WOW it is good. This blackberry mojito serves as a great base recipe to make any homemade lemonade mojito.

    Can I use another alcohol in a mojito?

    Definitely! While I prefer this mojito with rum, vodka or tequila would go really well in this recipe!

    I am just sitting here imagining you all drinking these Blackberry Lemonade Mojitos outside on a warm summer night. There's nothing quite like muddled blackberries, fresh lemonade, & muddled mint for the ultimate refreshing summertime cocktail. Enjoy!
