Berry Blast Mojito
By the Pitcher
Ingredients:
- 1/2 Pint Blueberries
- 1/2 Pint Blackberries
- 1/2 Pint Raspberries
- 1/2 Bushel Fresh Mint Leaves
- 3 Freshly Squeezed Limes
- 1 (750ml) Bottle White Rum
- 2 (20oz) Bottles Mountain Dew Voltage
Instructions:
1. Start by dropping all the berries and mint leaves into your pitcher or bowl. Lightly muddle them, just enough to release their flavors without crushing them completely.
2. Squeeze the juice from three fresh limes directly over the muddled mix, letting that sharp citrus cut through the sweetness.
3. Pour in the entire bottle of white rum, letting the power of the liquor take charge.
4. Add both bottles of Mountain Dew Voltage. Give everything a strong stir, blending the flavors into one badass, electrifying concoction.
5. Refrigerate until well chilled, allowing the drink to cool down and the flavors to fully meld.
Serving Instructions:
Glassware: Grab a highball glass for that perfect presentation.
Garnish: Place two fresh mint leaves and six blueberries into the glass. Fill with ice, then add three cranberries and one blackberry on top. Garnish the side of the glass with a fresh strawberry. Pour in the chilled cocktail and get ready to serve in style.
