Method

  • For the mint-lime simple syrup:
  • Mix water and sugar in a sauce pan, and turn heat to medium. Continue to stir until all the sugar has dissolved. Remove from heat, and add lime zest and mint. Let completely cool before using.
  • For the boysenberry mojitos:
  • In a tall glass, add mint leaves and boysenberries, and about 2 tablespoons of crushed ice. Using the handle end of a wooden spoon, muddle the mixture by pressing down on all the ingredients in the glass, breaking them up to make a paste.
  • Fill the glass up to the rim with crushed ice, then add rum, simple syrup, and lime juice. Using a long spoon, mix the ingredients. Top with sparkling water, lime wheel, fresh boysenberry, and mint. Enjoy!
  • Note: You can use blackberries, raspberries, or blueberries in place of the boysenberries.
