It all started with these blackberries that I bought last week at the farmers market. They were so fresh and plump and juicy and sweet and I just had to come up with a plan for them.
I didn't want to spend too much time thinking about what to do with them, I just wanted to do something uncomplicated. Something that we could all enjoy in a matter of minutes.
I recently went out to dinner with some friends. My friend, Gayle, was telling us about her recent trip to Puerto Rico, and how she got so used to drinking mojitos that now her husband has been making them for her.
I don't know why Gayle's description of muddling mint leaves popped into my head when I was trying to figure out what to do with my blackberries, but muddling blackberries suddenly became my mission.
I don't know if this is truly a mojito-- the only classic mojito ingredients I used are mint leaves and rum. And lots of ice. I decided to skip the soda water and sugar and just use ginger ale. And then instead of lime I added a little bit of fresh ginger to give some zing...but the incredibly sweet, juicy blackberries still shone through!
