preview for Blackberry Virgin Mojito Has Summer Written All Over It

Mojitos SCREAM summertime, and this non-alcoholic version is the perfect way to please everyone at the party. It’s every bit as refreshing as the OG, thanks to an easy mint simple syrup and fresh blackberries. Make a pitcher, and get ready for poolside sipping all summer long.

The best part? The mint simple syrup will make more than you need for this drink, so you can refrigerate it and use it in your other favorite non-alcoholic summer drinks, like our nojito and even in homemade lemonade. Not feeling blackberries? Switch it up with your favorite fresh fruit! Strawberries or blueberries would work perfectly here.
