Summer has really sunk in here in New Jersey. We are in the midst of a major heat wave and I am not having it. Don’t get me wrong, I love warm weather, just not 95-plus degree temperatures paired with 85% humidity.
I’m not having it. What I will have though is this refreshing blackberry mojito. I love a good mojito, especially during the summer months. Oh who am I kidding? I love to drink mojitos all year long.

How to Make A Blackberry Mojito
As you may remember, I am a fruity drink kinda gal. Top my fruity drink obsession with blackberry season and you have a perfect drink combination. Even though we don’t grow blackberries on our farm, I still love to buy them when they are in season.
Blackberries bring back wonderful memories of when my mom would take me blackberry picking and I would end up with poison ivy. Thanks, mom! What can I say, my mom’s love for blackberries runs pretty deep.
She would go to great lengths to pick them, even if it meant us picking wild blackberries alongside a country road. But I can assure you that the blackberry pies that resulted from our picking excursion were definitely worth it.
Cheers!
