This is the perfect summer drink for delicious blackberry lavender mojitos! It’s an easy drink recipe with all the classic key ingredients but with an added unique floral lavender flavour and sweet juicy blackberries. This will become your favourite cocktail to quench your thirst and cool you down during all the hot summer nights ;-).

Since our summer is almost over I’m longing for things which give me that vacation vibe back like Italian food, pina colada desserts and of course alcoholic drinks with that special something. I’m not a big drinker but I like my glas of wine from time to time or when the nights are hot a fruity refreshing cocktail with loooots of ice.

Hot Summer Nights call for ice-cold Blackberry Lavender Mojito .

Since I have kids, I can’t enjoy an adult drink whenever I feel like it, and oh boy, believe me, I often feel the need for something stronger. Especially when the kids are quarreling all day long ;-). Nah joke. I enjoy my drinks with my hubby by my site and my kids sleeping. Most of the time, I’m too tired to mix up anything fancy, so I like those blackberry lavender mojitos so much.

Blackberry Lavender Mojitos recipe: 6 good reasons why blackberries and lavender are the perfect match for mojitos

• The Mojito recipe is made in under 5 minutes.
• The homemade lavender syrup is easily made in advance and can be kept in the fridge for up to 4 weeks
• The blackberries and lavender syrup add that special something to these otherwise classic cocktails
• It’s a super refreshing easy drink recipe
• Blackberries stand for summer
• This drink will be the star at every summer party

Homemade Lavender syrup adds a beautiful unique floral flavour.

I love lavender! It smells fantastic and’s easy to grow, and that’s very important for me since I live a little bit higher up on a small mountain. Lavender is perfect for making your own chicken seasoning and brewing a better sleep. Lavender tea, lavender sugar, and lavender syrup, of course.

This summer drink is super easy to make, and you only need five ingredients:

• sugar
• honey
• water
• flowering lavender twigs
• blueberries, just 3 pieces for a light lilac colouring

You bring all ingredients to a boil and let it simmer for 5 minutes. Push with a spoon lightly on top of the blueberries so that they burst open and release their juice. Take the pot from the stove and let it cool completely. Strain the liquid through a fine sieve or a chess clothe and fill it into a medium sized bottle. Voilá! Homemade lavender syrup ready to use. Please keep the syrup refrigerated in the fridge up to 4 weeks.

8 Ingrediens and our Summer Nights Blackberry Lavender Mojito are ready to enjoy.

First I start with 2 glasses which can hold a capacity of 350-400ml and a muddler. Put the brown sugar, thinly sliced lime wedges, mint leaves and blackberries into the glasses and muddle gently. The flavours should burst open and combine but the mint leaves shouldn’t be shredded to small pieces.

Add the white rum, you can use any white rum you like but I prefer a 3 year old Havana Club Rum.

In the next step I add the ice in form of cubes or crushed and add some more mint leaves, lime wedges and blackberries for garnish. Fill the glasses up with club soda and add at last some homemade lavender syrup.

Please enjoy this mojito drink only in good company. Bad company should go home before drinking and partying through the night with these delicious cocktails .My hubby and I had a total blast picking fresh blackberries from my garden and mixing up a couple of glasses for us. It felt like vacation and as if the summer would never end. Sometimes all you need is another adult who totally gets you and a couple of drinks to stay up all night long ;-). Blackberry Lavender Mojito!!!

Some thoughts on that drink.

If you don’t have blackberries at hand, red currents, raspberries and even blueberries do the job just fine . No rum at hand? Try it with vodka or gin, maybe that was your flavour anyway. You NEED ice otherwise this is not a drink but a warm runny sweet soup with booze . The most important thing though is to take your time, don’t do a drink between one door and the next.

You should enjoy a good drink as you would enjoy a decadent rich slice of cake: You saviour every single bite or in our case swallow.

Cheers to you and all the beautiful bittersweet late summer nights <3

Every spring when the weather is still miserable and awful, I’m longing for warmer temperatures and a vacation at the beach. I bet many of you can relate to that longing ?. When I’m in that kind of mood you will always find me in my kitchen creating summer dishes AND… drinks. When I’m creating a drink there will always be a virgin version too because….my kids insist that they get to enjoy a delicious mock drink too. We are family after all?.

How to make that deliciousness of a honey strawberry cucumber mojito cocktail.

First of all, this mojito drink recipe still contains the signature ingredients that makes a mojito: Light rum, mint leaves, brown sugar, ice and club soda. But I added a bunch of ingredients to add that special: Je ne sais quoi! That takes that summer cocktail to a whole new level .

• First we need a glass that can contain 300-400ml of fluid.
• Then I’m adding the cut strawberries, cucumber pieces, mint leaves, brown sugar and honey to the glass and muddle everything gently together. The flavors, juices and oils from the mint leaves should be released and the sugar and honey should be dissolved.
• I fill the glass with ice almost to the brim. I prefer crushed ice for that drink but ice cubes will do too.
• Now I’m pouring the rum over the ice. That drink tastes amazing with tequila instead of rum too. Just saying ?.
• At last I’m finishing that summer cocktail with club soda.
• For the garnish add some cucumber, strawberry and lemon slices to the drink and top with mint leaves and if you wanna be very fancy top it with a cucumber skewer .

Some thoughts on that best summer drink ever ?.

If you don’t have strawberries at hand red currents, raspberries, blackberries and even blueberries do the job just fine .

That mojito cocktail is still delicious without the cucumber slices but they totally add a refreshing Caribbean melon flavor to the mojito.

No rum at hand? Try it with tequila vodka or gin, maybe that was your flavour anyway. I really can’t decide if I favor it with light rum or tequila, truly a hard choice to make.

You NEED ICE otherwise this is not a drink but a warm runny sweet soup with booze ? . The most important thing though is to take your time, don’t make a drink between one door and the next.

AND lastly! Please don’t count the calories. A good drink is like a decadent piece of cake. It needs to be enjoyed to the fullest.
