Notes
- If you don’t like rum you can use vodka instead and make vodka mojitos.
- Blackberries are great but you can use other berries, too! Try raspberries, blueberries or strawberries or a mix of fruit to make your own custom mojito drink.
- Feel free to adjust the amount of sugar to suit your tastes. You can also use simple syrup to make this drink.
- You don’t need a fancy wooden muddler to make this drink – if you have a wooden spoon just use the handle end to crush the fruit.
