Blackberry Mojito

Mojito (pronounced moe-hee-toe) is Cuba’s most famous cocktail, and is reputedly a favorite of author Earnest Hemingway. 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 to crush the berries and mint.
