If you want a real taste of Cuba, you have to start with a mojito. Rum, lime juice, mint…you've got the drink of Hemingway in your hands. For a delicious spin on the classic, try this version. Sweet, tart, and bursting with fruity flavor, blackberries are an outstanding addition. Ingredients:
8 fresh mint leaves, plus more for garnish |
1/2 cup fresh blackberries |
1 tablespoon light agave syrup |
ice cubes |
1/2 cup light rum |
1/4 cup fresh lime juice |
crushed ice |
lime-flavored club soda |
lime slices, for garnish |
Directions:
1. 1. Add the mint leaves, blackberries, and agave syrup to a cocktail shaker. Using a muddler or the handle of a wooden spoon, muddle the ingredients until the mint is fragrant. Add the ice cubes, rum, and lime juice. Cover and shake vigorously to chill.
2. 2. Fill 2 rocks or highball glasses with crushed ice and strain the liquid into the glasses. Top with club soda and garnish each with a slice of lime.
