Hello SweetJezebel, I was at my friend Judy's house and they made these mojitos & the temptation was too much - I had one and it was delicious!! I love blackberries & pineapple in any combination and this was super! Thank you for posting such a thirst-quenching recipe, Diane :) PS - am a misbehaving diabetic!
