Recipes & Ideas

Mojito (pronounced moe-hee-toe) is Cuba's most famous cocktail. It is important that the blackberries and mint are gently muddled - never crushed - to release their flavors but not release harsh or bitter tannins into the beverage. A wooden spoon or firm silicone spatula can be used in place of a muddler.

INGREDIENTS

12 Driscoll's Blackberries
12 large mint leaves
4 teaspoons sugar
1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
1 tablespoon fresh lime juice
1/2 cups seltzer water
1/4 cups vodka or rum
6 to 8 ice cubes

Instructions

Muddle blackberries, mint leaves, sugar, lemon juice and lime juice in a tall glass until berries are mostly crushed.
Add seltzer, vodka, and ice.
Stir well and serve.
