Ingredients
- 5 mint leaves
- ½ oz lime juice (½ lime)
- ½ oz honey
- 2 oz light rum
- 4 blackberries
- 3-4 ice cubes, crushed
- club soda
- lime wedges, blackberries and mint leaves for garnish
Instructions
- Place mint leaves, lime juice, honey, rum and blackberries to a cocktail shaker. Use a muddler to gently muddle the mint leaves, but don't muddle too much or you'll break up the leaves.
- Strain into a glass filled with ice.
- Top with club soda (about 2 oz). Add extra mint leaves, blackberries and lime for garnish.
Notes
- Opt for fresh mint leaves and limes to get the best flavor in your mojito. Fresh ingredients impart a vibrant taste and aroma to the cocktail.
- Do not over muddle the mint or you will turn the taste bitter.
- Use honey instead of simple syrup. It may not be traditional but takes less work and adds additional flavor.
- Use light rum when making the mojito. Gold or dark rum can muddy the flavor.
- Use crushed ice which will make the mojito colder quicker.
