Wild Berry Mojito
Mix up mint and berries for this colorful Cuban party drink - with or without the "buzz".
Ingredients
- 8 - 12 fresh mint leaves
- 3 - 4 fresh blackberries
- 3 - 4 fresh blueberries
- 3 - 4 fresh red raspberries
- 1/8 cup lime juice
- 2 - 4 tsp. Equal® Spoonful or 1- 2 packets Equal® sweetener *
- 1 glassful (12 oz glass) of crushed ice (cubed ice will not work)
- 1/4 cup soda water
- 1 fresh mint sprig (for garnish)
Directions:
Carefully press mint leaves into the bottom of the glass with the back of a wooden spoon to release their oils (do not tear leaves).
Mix mint, crushed wild berries, lime juice and Equal® in a 12-ounce highball glass. Fill glass with crushed ice.
Stir well until the ice is reduced by 1/3 and then top with more crushed ice, stirring until the glass begins to frost on the outside.
Pour in soda water and stir again. Garnish with a sprig of fresh mint.
Variations:
Alcoholic option: Add 1 to 2 ounces light rum after step 4.
* If desired, replace Equal® with an equivalent amount of sugar.
