Blackberry Mojito

What says “Summer” more than a tall, cold Blackberry mojito with fresh mint and juicy blackberries? NOTHING that’s what. There’s something about this fresh drink that makes me feel like I’m on a permanent vacation.

I love mojitos. I love fresh mint and fresh berries. I guess the Amish in me grew up drinking fresh garden tea and this adult drink has me reminiscing about those long-ago memories and yearning that summer nights have no end. I have always been the type of person that needs MORE. More berries. More mint. That did not change when my husband and I were trying to make this delicious mojito.
