What is the bartender tip for a Blackberry Mojito?
Mint gets bruised, not pounded: shredding it releases chlorophyll and turns the drink bitter. The 25 ml of blackberry syrup already sweetens it — no simple syrup. 20 ml of lime cuts it; if your syrup is very sweet, squeeze 5 ml more lime. Light white rum; gold rum weighs it down and buries the mint. Crushed (or pebble) ice is the Mojito chill; large cubes dilute less and change the glass. Stir from the bottom up. It is not the classic Mojito (sugar, no blackberry), the Strawberry Mojito (cachaça and strawberry), or the Blackberry Smash (bourbon, muddled berries, no soda).
