Ingredients
Scale
For the Drink
- 8 fresh mint leaves
- 5 blackberries
- 1 1/2 ounces white rum (or coconut rum)
- 1 lime, juiced
- 2 ounces cream of coconut (¼ cup)
- Ice
- Soda water (for topping)
For Garnish and Rim
- Mint sprigs (to garnish)
- Lime wheels (to garnish)
- Zest of 1 lime
- 2 tablespoons sugar
- Pinch of kosher salt
Instructions
- Prepare the Sugar Lime Rim: Combine the lime zest, sugar, and kosher salt on a shallow plate. Run a lime wedge around the rim of your glass to moisten it, then dip the rim into the sugar mixture until well coated. Fill the glass with ice to chill.
- Muddle Mint and Blackberries: In a cocktail shaker, lightly muddle the fresh mint leaves and blackberries together to release their flavors without pulverizing them completely.
- Add Liquids and Shake: Pour in the white rum, freshly squeezed lime juice, cream of coconut, and add ice to the shaker. Secure the lid and shake vigorously until the mixture is well chilled and combined.
- Strain and Top: Strain the shaken cocktail into the prepared rimmed glass filled with ice. Top the drink with soda water to add a refreshing fizz.
- Garnish and Serve: Garnish your creamy blackberry mojito with a fresh mint sprig, a ripe blackberry, and a lime wheel on the rim for an attractive presentation. Serve immediately and enjoy.
Notes
- Use coconut rum for a more pronounced coconut flavor.
- Adjust the sugar in the rim mixture to taste depending on your preferred sweetness.
- Light muddling prevents the mint from becoming bitter.
- The cream of coconut adds creaminess and sweetness to balance the tartness of lime and blackberries.
- Serve immediately after preparation to keep the drink fresh and fizzy.
