Mojitos have always been one of my go-to cocktails to order when out and about. They have a light, fresh flavor and don’t taste strongly of alcohol making them more enjoyable to drink, for some.
This Blackberry Mojito uses all of the same ingredients as a traditional Cuban mojito, like rum, club soda, fresh mint and freshly squeezed limes, but the simple syrup is replaced with homemade Blackberry Syrup.
