This blackberry kiwi mojito recipe is a fruity riff on the classic Mojito. Made with fresh fruit, mint springs, and rum, this refreshing cocktail is the perfect summer drink.
Pour pureed kiwis into a small saucepan over medium-high heat. Add water and sugar and whisk to combine. Bring to a boil, then let simmer for 2 minutes.
Remove from heat. Place in the fridge to cool.
Prepare glasses. Pour 1 ounce of kiwi simple syrup into each glass. Add 2-3 blackberries, mint leaves, and a quarter of a lime to the bottom of each glass. Gently muddle to release the flavors, then fill glasses with ice cubes.
Pour 2 ounces of rum into each glass.
Fill glasses with club soda and garnish with fresh blackberries and kiwi slices. Give it a stir and enjoy!
Store any remaining kiwi simple syrup in the fridge for up to 1 week.
Notes
To make virgin kiwi mojitos, omit the rum and add additional club soda or sparkling water.
