Hi there, love birds! Today I’m sharing my Blackberry Mojito Cocktail Recipe / Perfect for Galentines coming up! We all love a yummy cocktail, and this one is good literally anytime of the year, but would also be a super fun cocktail to whip out this V-Day! Keep reading to see how ours turned out and how to make your own 🙂
What are y’all’s plans for the big V-Day this year? At this point, we have kind of done it all. I have just as much fun celebrating with the kids as I do going out on the town with my hubs! Lately, we have found a way to all enjoy it together as a family. The last few years, we have stayed home and participated in all kinds of fun arts and crafts, yummy foods, dance parties, and movies. It has also involved me creating tasty adult beverages for everyone of age in the house! I love playing around with classic cocktails and seeing what I can do to spice them up a bit…
This particular cocktail starts as a regular mojito. Which, who doesn’t loveeee mojitos? I don’t know anyone, especially any woman, that doesn’t enjoy a fresh mojito. Plus, you never really have to worry about there being too much sugar in them. They are full of yummy flavor without all the nasty stuff. We don’t have time for hangovers y’all.
For those staying home with your family, planning on having a fun night in with the girls, or spending the night at home alone with your partner, this is the perfect, easy, and deliciously refreshing cocktail! Something about this cocktail also makes me feel like I’m at the beach.. which HELLO I’m ready for winter to be over here in TN. It’s the perfect detail to “pregame” for a nice dinner on the town or to whip up as a themed cocktail for the night! No matter what your plans are, this cocktail is great for any occasion. Especially with spring coming up, it’s cool and refreshing! Check out the ingredients and how to make this Blackberry Mojito Cocktail Recipe below:
