In this refreshing blackberry mojito, fresh muddled blackberries give the traditional drink a fruity twist. The berry's sweet-tart flavor is delightful against the mojito's minty-lime taste. This ice-cold drink is the perfect way to make use of fresh blackberries and mint in peak season. Mix one up for yourself or fix a round for friends, sip back, and enjoy!
