Blackberry Mint Cocktail
I came up with this mix for my friends baby shower a few years ago and it was a hit! Make this a mock tail or cocktail and sit back, relax and enjoy the refreshing flavors. Heck, make an entire pitcher and call it a day!
The addition of mint adds some extra jazz to this one, and I hear mint freshens the breath too right? Win win!
Recipe for Blackberry Mint Lime Drink:

3/4-1 cup club soda or seltzer
1-2 oz fresh lime juice
1-2 mint sprigs
Ice
Optional: 2 oz of gin/white tequila or white rum
Servings Made: 2 servings
Time to Prep: 5 minutes
Time to Cook: N/A
How to Make:
Muddle mint and blackberries together with lime juice (basically put them into a bowl together and mash with back of a spoon). You can also use a mortar and pestle if you have. Divide mashed berries into two glasses with a few cubes of ice.
Pour in pineapple juice and club soda. Add alcohol if you are using. Stir and garnish with more mint springs and a wedge of lime.
Pro tip - Spice this one up by adding a few slices of fresh jalapeños to the mix.
Enjoy!
