3. Add ice cubes and pour the rum over the top. Top the drink off with club soda.
4. Give it a stir and garnish with lime wedges or lemon wedges.

What alcohol is in a mojito?

Traditional mojitos contain a light rum! However, you can use a different liquor if you’re not a fan of rum. Vodka is the best substitute in place of rum.

Do I need a cocktail shaker to make a blackberry mojito?

Nope! No cocktail shaker or fancy equipment needed with this simple blackberry mojito recipe. Just muddle together the ingredients in the bottom of a glass and then top it with club soda. It’s really that easy.

Can I make a virgin blackberry mojito?

Absolutely! Feel free to omit the rum from this recipe so that you can enjoy a virgin mojito. There are also lots of non-alcoholic rum substitutes out there now so that you can enjoy the flavor of rum without the alcohol. That would be really tasty in this recipe!
