Blackberry Ginger Ale Mojito

The sun is shining, the weather is warmer, and I’m ready to do some entertaining. But, I’m not always the best planner. Sometimes I just like to have a couple friends over at a moment’s notice. Once I invite them, though, I often realize I am sooooo not prepared.

After I take a deep breath, I figure out that I’m more prepared then I first thought. I always have a freezer stocked with baked goods. Always. I mean, I’m kind of surprised people aren’t always showing up at my house wanting a cookie or piece of cake.

Then there’s my fully stocked refrigerator and pantry. I have tons of washed vegetables and fruit bowls that overflow with seasonal produce. There’s not a lack of candy and chips in the pantry either. The party shapes up quickly with all these fun foods.

But we still need some libations. Because what’s a party without a fantastic drink?

And I have one stellar drink for you today. A Blackberry Ginger Ale Mojito made with the Original “Green Bottle” Canada Dry Ginger Ale®. I was on the hunt for Canada Dry Blackberry Ginger Ale® at my local Walmart but they didn’t have it yet. I won’t give up the hunt, but this mojito has all those flavors.

Shopping at Walmart

It reminds me of summer with the fresh mint, blackberries, and ginger. That extra ginger really complements the Canada Dry Ginger Ale® and gives the drink an extra kick. The fizzy Canada Dry Ginger Ale® reminds me a little of being a kid and drinking it when I wasn’t feeling well or on a hot summer day to cool me down.

But then I took this drink up a notch with some rum. It’s an awesome drink without it, but the rum gives it an extra, complementary flavor and kick.

Another tip, use frozen blackberries in the drink instead of ice. That way the drink won’t be watered down. I actually rely on this tip a lot because I rarely have ice in the house since I don’t use it much. Weird, I know.

My parties will be extra special with these mojitos, and I’m thinking they’re a great way to celebrate just any old spring day.

    I could probably whip up something to eat on short notice, but we NEVER have any good drinks in the house! Love the sound of these easy fruity mojitos!

    Muddled blackberries and rum sounds like a great addition to any party! Wish I could sip one of these right now while sitting outside in the sun.

Still can't believe I got to meet Bryan Cranston a Still can't believe I got to meet Bryan Cranston and Aaron Paul last night!  I'm a huge fan of both of them after watching Breaking Bad, and I love Dos Hombres mezcal 🍹  They are super nice guys and took their time chatting and taking photos with everyone there. I'm so thrilled I got to attend this event and that it was at the Waldorf, one of my favorite places 🌴💚 The signed and engraved bottle is a fabulous keepsake from an unforgettable evening ✨️
