Tips

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.
