Mojito Cocktail Recipes:

We know Autumn is coming – so let’s grab the remaining warm weather and enjoy ourselves! Let’s take advantage of fresh seasonal fruit by creating some attractive and tasty mixology.

Blackberry season is upon us. No, I am not talking about a new smartphone release. Around the US, blackberries and raspberries are just beginning to come into season, which typically runs from mid July to late August depending on your latitude. Berries of all types are best enjoyed in the summer when they are in season. When mixed in cocktails, these fruits can act as the body as in a frozen strawberry daiquiri or as an additive as is the case with blackberry mojitos. In a mojito, the blackberry flavor compliments the rum, lime, and mint. Additionally, the blackberry provides natural color to the cocktail.

Warm weather is finally here, and there’s no better time to share a cocktail or two with friends and family on the porch or deck. Here is a recipe sure to please and impress your guests at your next outdoor party.
