Blackberry Mojito Mocktail

1/2 cup fresh blackberries – Juicy and sweet; these are the stars of the show.
10 fresh mint leaves – These add a cool refreshing flavor that pairs beautifully with the berries.
2 limes – Trust me, you want fresh lime juice here; it really lifts the drink.
1 tablespoon agave syrup – For that hint of sweetness.
1 cup sparkling water – Adds a little fizz and fun!
Ice cubes – To keep things chilly.
Lime slices and extra blackberries for garnish

In a cocktail shaker or a jug, muddle the fresh blackberries and mint leaves. Press down until they release their juices and aromas.
Take one lime, cut it in half, and squeeze the juice right into your blackberry-mint mix.
Pour in that tablespoon of agave syrup.
Stir everything together to let the flavors combine.
Fill a glass with ice cubes. Now, carefully pour your blackberry and mint mixture over the ice.
Top the glass with sparkling water, leaving a bit of room for garnish.
Drop in a few more blackberries and a slice or two of lime. Stir gently to let everything swirl together.
For the final touch, you can pop a sprig of mint or a lime wedge on the rim.

Get Creative with Flavors: Want a twist? Add some cucumber slices for extra freshness or a bit of ginger for a little spice. This recipe is versatile, feel free to make it your own!
Adjust the Sweetness: Agave is a lovely, mild sweetener, but if you prefer honey or maple syrup, those work just as well. And if you’re watching sugar intake, try a tiny pinch of stevia.
Double or Triple the Recipe: If you’re making this for a larger crowd, just scale up the ingredients. You might want to make it in a big pitcher instead of a shaker to save time. Plus, it’s a pretty drink to display!
Serve in Fun Glasses: Part of the fun of mocktails is the presentation! Serve these in mason jars for a rustic feel or tall cocktail glasses if you’re feeling fancy.
