Recipe Notes
BLACKBERRY MOJITO TIPS
- Blackberries are the star of this Mojito version, so use them generously! They add flavor and texture.
- If you want to substitute blackberries, use blueberries! They make the best swap. Also try using a combo of both!
- Make sure you crush the blackberries well in the mortar and pestle so that it infuses into the soda drink, otherwise you won't be able to taste it.
- To sweeten your mojitos without the simple syrup, use ginger ale or lemon soda. And to make the drinks zero sugar--use diet drinks.
- To make the drink ahead of time, prepare everything except leave the ice as the final step. Add it right before serving!
