Virgin Blackberry Mojito

June 8, 2015

This virgin blackberry mojito is a perfect drink for those hot summer nights when I really want a fruity, fizzy drink but just don’t want to be bothered with alcohol….which is more often than not. I’m weird like that. This a great nonalcoholic alternative to a classic summer drink!

If you’ve read my blog for any length of time, you are probably well aware of the fact that I don’t much care for alcoholic beverages. It’s not a matter of principle-I don’t care if you drink, and my husband writes a beer blog for Pete’s sake. As long as you aren’t getting sloppy I’m cool with whatever. I just never developed a taste for the stuff myself, so on the rare occasions that I do drink I drink things like Pimm Palmers or Midori Sours or the Jungle Juice at Clyde’s on Main which, despite the fact that every ingredient is alcoholic, tastes like it has 0% alcohol. I am a lightweight and I’m not ashamed of it. It’s kept me out of trouble (though I do feel like some sort of pseudo food person since I don’t like wine. I think there’s a rule about that).

This means, though, that I often miss out on fun-looking drinks. I’ll look at them on the menu, considering them, thinking about whether they’re worth the (inevitably) $8 or $9 that I’d have to spend. Nine times out of ten I decide that it isn’t worth the risk. Purchasing alcoholic beverages in restaurants is expensive, y’all. So, I decided that if I want a fruity drink, a fruity drink I will have…I’ll just have it without alcohol.

The best thing about summer (besides the obvious-the extended break that I get) is all the seasonal produce. Berries are big right now, and when I saw a carton of blackberries for $1.49 I grabbed that baby without thinking twice. I tried to think of what to make with them and my mind kept going back to the blackberry mojito that I drank at Smoky Mountain Brewery when Philip and I went on Spring break. It was delicious, with its combination of sweet-sour blackberries, summery lime, and fresh-tasting mint. So it was settled…a virgin blackberry mojito. Blackberries, mint, lime, simple syrup, and club soda-I can’t think of a cocktail more simple. Of course, if you prefer an alcoholic beverage, feel free to add a shot of light rum. Otherwise, this nonalcoholic blackberry mojito will cool you off without making your head spin, and you won’t feel guilty drinking it before noon!

    This looks so good! I don't mind alcohol (more of a beer fan myself), but would totally make this. Plus it's work and family appropriate, so you can enjoy anytime!

    This looks like the perfect summer drink - and a great way to use all those blackberries that are going to be arriving on my blackberry bushes sometime very SOON!
