Method
- For the syrup, heat the sugar, mint and blackberries with 100ml water. Simmer for 5 mins, then remove from the heat and allow to cool.
- Place the mint in the middle of a large jug, then using the end of a rolling pin, bash the mint to break it up a little. Spoon in two large handfuls of ice and pour over the syrup.
- Add the ouzo, lime juice and remaining blackberries and mix well. Top with enough soda to make about 1ltr.
- Serve the mojito in glasses with more ice if needed.
