raspberry mojito

Fresh vegetables and fruits are one of our favorite parts of summertime blog posts, which is why one our most used tag lines is: Easy, Tasty, Fresh! As we looked back at past blog posts, we realized some definite patterns in our posts. One pattern that overwhelmingly stood out to us was how many recipes that we had with berries.

Berries are the best — nature’s candy! Berries complement many cocktail and dessert recipes, so this week we are going to feature some of our past posts that included berries, such as, Strawberry Prosecco Cake or Tequila Strawberry Lime Ice Cream Pie, both of which we have made recently at The Blind Pig household. Welcome to our Berry Festival by taking a look back with us. Perhaps this is a good time to try out one of these fabulous recipes that you haven’t tried yet.

Valentine’s Day is just days away. You might have big intentions for your sweetie, you might be keeping it low key, or perhaps you have a big Gal-entine’s Day celebration on the horizon. No matter how your Valentine’s Day works out, we have a great little cocktail to share with you — The Raspberry Mojito. This cocktail hits all of The Blind Pig’s major requirements. It’s easy to make. It’s very tasty, and the raspberries and mint give it a punch of fresh.

We start with easy ingredients which are on hand in most liquor and grocery stores this time of year. You will need a package of fresh raspberries, mint leaves, lime juice, cocktail-ready agave nectar, white rum, and Prosecco. Strawberries are usually a popular berry around Valentine’s Day. However, we liked that the raspberries still give the drink a pretty pinkish color, but were a little different than the traditional fare. The Prosecco gives it a touch of romance. Guys, this is a great way to have a little bubbly, but show you made some extra effort to make a cocktail special for your sweetheart. Wink. Wink.

Place 6 ounces of raspberries in the bottom of a shaker and muddle along with the lime juice, agave nectar, and mint leaves. Double strain into a wine glass. Pour rum into the glass. Top off with Prosecco and add ice. Garnish with a stem of mint leaves and several raspberries. What a lovely drink.
