This was pretty good but I wanted more mint. It was kinda hard to strain due to the blackberries so I had to take the lid off and strain with a different strainer. Tasted good and had a cool purple color. Thanks for a cool drink Nancy! *Made for Bev Tag*

Such a deep purple color that was awesome! Loved the little sweetness from the curacao. I am glad this one was strained as I had a ton of seeds swimming around, lol. Perfect proportions of the alcohol to juice. Babe, you rock my mojito world!!
