Instead, we're serving up something just as exciting: a blackberry mojito cocktail recipe that's perfect for your next binge-watching session.
Nicole Kidman's character, the glamorous Greer Garrison Winbury, is always seen sipping on an ice-cold blackberry mojito at those high-society cocktail parties in her opulent Nantucket home. If you want to feel like you're part of the Winbury clan and really immerse yourself in the show's drama, this cocktail is just what you need.
'The Perfect Couple' Blackberry Mojito Cocktail Recipe
Tag Winbury, the family's patriarch, describes the blackberry mojito as a "wine cooler but better," and given the show's penchant for extravagant gatherings, it's often served in large quantities at the Winbury mansion. So, we're giving you a recipe that makes a jugful-perfect for sharing with friends or for indulging in a solo binge-watch.
Ingredients:
- 1 cup fresh blackberries
- 10 fresh mint leaves
- 1 lime, cut into wedges
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1 cup white rum
- 2 cups club soda
- Ice
- Extra mint sprigs and lime wedges for garnish
Instructions:
1. Muddle the Fruit and Mint: In a large pitcher, combine the blackberries, mint leaves, and sugar. Use a muddler or the back of a spoon to gently crush the ingredients together. You want to release the juices from the blackberries and the oils from the mint leaves, but not turn everything into mush.
2. Add Lime and Rum: Squeeze the lime wedges into the pitcher, dropping them in after you've squeezed out the juice. Pour in the white rum and give everything a good stir to combine the flavors.
3. Mix and Chill: Fill the pitcher with ice, then top off with club soda. Stir gently to mix.
4. Garnish and Serve: Pour the mojito into glasses filled with ice, and garnish with extra mint sprigs and lime wedges. For an extra touch of elegance, you can even drop a few whole blackberries into each glass.
5. Enjoy: Grab your favorite cozy blanket, hit play on *The Perfect Couple*, and sip away as you get lost in the world of the Winburys.
This blackberry mojito cocktail is not just a nod to the show's luxurious vibe-it's a refreshing, fruity drink that's sure to elevate your TV-watching experience. Cheers to drama, scandal, and one fabulous drink!
