Description
This Blackberry Rum Cocktail is a refreshing, fruity, and slightly tropical drink made with juicy blackberries, rum, lime, and a hint of mint. It’s the perfect cocktail for summer parties or a cozy night in.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 oz white rum
- 1 oz fresh lime juice
- 1/2 oz simple syrup (adjust to taste)
- 5–6 fresh blackberries
- 2–3 fresh mint leaves
- Club soda or sparkling water (to top)
- Ice cubes

Instructions
- In a cocktail shaker, muddle the blackberries and mint with lime juice and simple syrup until well combined.

Notes
For a sweeter twist, use spiced rum instead of white rum. You can also batch this cocktail in a pitcher by scaling up the ingredients for parties.
