Cherry Blackberry Mojito Recipe
Nothing makes a cocktail better than fresh fruit. Fruit adds flavor, sweetness, and a freshness that you can’t get from a bottle. That being said, this recipe calls for cherries, blackberries, mint leaves, and lime.
All of the above should be as fresh as possible. It will make a world of difference to put in that little bit of extra effort. You’ll want to have some Bacardi White Rum and some club soda for the stuff you can get out of a bottle.
You have nothing more than a weak fruit salad without these two ingredients.
How to Make Simple Syrup
When it comes to syrup, making your own is so easy that you have to wonder why people are spending money on bottles of premade simple syrup at the store.
All you need is some granulated sugar and water. It’s that simple.
Cocktail Garnish
Garnish isn’t as important as you think, but if you’re serving these cocktails at a party, garnish becomes everything. You can garnish this drink with a few things, like a slice of lime, mint leaves, cherries, or blackberries.
All will get the job done and make you look like a pro.
