Blackberry Tequila Mojito Is The Refreshing Twist You Need

This easy tequila cocktail recipe is NOT an official, traditional mojito. Primarily because we’re not using rum at all.

To be honest with you, rum is probably our least favorite liquor. It’s just not really our thing, but we ALWAYS have a bottle of tequila in our bar cabinet (if not two or three bottles). So why not try mojitos made with tequila, too?

The lime juice and mint from the traditional mojito recipe did come to the party in our blackberry tequila mojito, so, yay tradition.

But in place of the plain sugar (because who really needs extra sugar?) and the soda water, we used a bottle of blackberry soda (technically, “sparkling blackberry juice,” but yeah it’s soda) for this tequila mojito recipe.

We get a bit of sweetness as well as the fizz from the soda, with just one ingredient instead of two.

A full recipe card, including exact ingredient amounts, appears at the bottom of this post.

  • mint leaves – fresh is the only way to go for this mojito tequila cocktail.
  • limes – you’ll need both squeezed fresh juice and some lime wedges for garnish.
  • tequila – after a lot of testing, we’ve decided we love Don Julio or Herradura blanco the best for this mojito made with tequila.
  • blackberry soda or blackberry sparkling juice – the main flavor and color for this cocktail.
  • blackberries – optional garnish.

How To Make A Blackberry Tequila Mojito

  1. MUDDLE. In a double old-fashioned glass, use the muddler to lightly crush the mint into the lime juice. You want to release the essential oils from the mint to add flavor to this easy tequila cocktail recipe, but not completely crush the mint into oblivion.
  2. ADD BOOZE. Add the tequila to the glass and stir everything together. The mint leaves should lift up from the bottom of glass and swirl around.
  3. MIX. Fill the glass to the top with ice, and then top the glass with blackberry soda, leaving a little bit of room for garnishes.
  4. SERVE. Serve the drink garnished with a lime wedge, more fresh mint, and fresh blackberries.
