In a bowl, place 3/4 cup fresh lime juice, 1 cup of blackberries, 6 mint leaves.

Use a muddler to crush the berries, juice, and mint leaves together.

Strain mixture through a sieve. Squeeze the pulp so all the juice will be strained.

I kept squeezing mine for a couple minutes, until I got all the juice out of it.

You can use the pulp in your drink if you want to. That’s up to you.

This mixture will make two 12 oz drinks, or a large one, like mine.

Fill cup with ice.

Pour 1 oz of simple syrup in each cup, if making two drinks. Or pour 2 ounces in one cup, if making a large one.

Pour lime-blackberry mixture over simple syrup.

Top with rum. If making 2 drinks, do 2 ounces of rum per drink.

Finally, finish with the club soda.

Garnish with more blackberries, lime wedges, and mint leaves. Serve!
