Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 10 leaves Fresh mint leaves
- 1 cup Fresh mixed berries (strawberries, raspberries, blueberries, or blackberries)
- 1 whole Lime
- 2 teaspoons Granulated sugar (or simple syrup)
- 2 ounces White rum
- 4 ounces Club soda
- 1 cup Crushed ice
- 1 serving Fresh berries and mint sprig (for garnish)
Instructions
Place the mint leaves and sugar (or simple syrup) into a sturdy glass or cocktail shaker.
Cut the lime into wedges, squeeze the juice into the glass, and add the wedges to the mixture.
Gently muddle the mint, sugar, and lime together using a muddler or the back of a spoon to release the oils from the mint and mix the flavors.
Add the fresh mixed berries to the glass and lightly muddle them to release their juices. Be careful not to over-muddle, as you want the berries to retain some texture.
Fill the glass halfway with crushed ice.
Pour the white rum over the mixture, then fill the glass with club soda to top it off.
Stir gently to combine all the ingredients.
Add more crushed ice if necessary, and garnish the drink with fresh berries and a sprig of mint.
Serve immediately and enjoy your Summer Berry Mojito!
