Instructions
- Place sugar on a shallow plate. Run the lime wedge around the edge of your glasses, then invert each glass into the plate to create a sugared rim.
- In a cocktail shaker or large glass jar (I use a mason jar), add blackberries, mint, lime juice and simple syrup. Smash together using a muddler (or bottom of a wooden spoon). Add the rum and ginger beer.
- Add ice to your rimmed glass and pour the drink over the ice.
- Garnish with fresh mint and fresh blackberries, if desired!
