The Most Refreshing Blackberry Mojito To Complete Your Weekend

I went on a trip to Punta Cana back in 2018 (where I met my boyfriend) and that’s where my love for mojitos begun. Sure, I had them before that point…but there was something about unlimited mojitos on a crystal clear beach in the Dominican Republic that just hit different. I couldn’t help myself and put a blackberry twist on the classic recipe to make this blackberry mojito and it is SO gooooood. This one I enjoyed with my boyfriend sitting on our balcony in Sacramento and it also just hit different. Full circle moment. I hope you enjoy it as much as I do!

If you’re looking for another refreshing summer cocktail, check out this Vodka Raspberry Lemonade Smash. You won’t regret it.

Aaaaaaand if you’re looking for a boujee (bougie?) version of this cocktail, HBH has this Blackberry Lilac Mojito that I am dying to try.
