- 1 ounce simple syrup
- 1 ounce lime juice
- 2 ounces light rum
- 2 ounces club soda

Instructions
- In a collins glass or highball glass, add the blackberries, mint leaves and simple syrup.

- Top with ice cubes, filling the glass all the way.
- Add the lime juice and rum. Top with club soda.
- Garnish with a straw, lime wedge and a mint sprig.
Notes
Use fresh berries if you can, especially when they are at their peak In the winter, frozen berries will carry the best flavor.
If you don’t have a muddler, use the blunt end of a wooden spoon.
If you don’t like chunks of fruit in your cocktail, make the drink in a shaker or mixing glass (except the club soda) then strain into your drinking glass and top with club soda.
