It’s the last weekend of the summer, but don’t be sad. Rubes and I rounded up a bucket full of plump blackberries for you this morning while out on our walk. She kept the wasps at bay while I braved the thorns and spiders in waiting. Blackberries are at their peak, so let’s celebrate instead with Blackberry Mojitos!

Ingredients:
* 5 fresh juicy plump blackberries
* 1 part white rum

Luv Meesh xo
PS. Because I’m not very experienced at muddling, and for photographic purposes, I removed the large muddled mint leaves…they didn’t look that nice. Still the mint infused flavour remained. Just so you know…that’s an option.

Awe, yummers! I just had a traditional mojito with mint from our garden
And tomorrow we’re off to pick blackberries, so maybe we’ll save a few and try out your recipe!
