This Blackberry Smash Cocktail is my favorite summer drink recipe. Loaded with fresh blackberries, mint, ginger beer and liquor of your choice! It's so refreshing!
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!
