Trader Joe's Blackberry Spritzer Mojito Recipe

So, you've recently acquired Trader Joe's Blackberry Spritzer. Perhaps you too found it a bit plain. Sweeter than seltzer but not sweet enough to be soda. Why not jazz it up a bit? As time goes on, I've not so secretly come to believe that all the drinks at Trader Joe's are secretly fantastic drink mixers. This is no exception.

Below is Become Betty's spin on Trader Joe's Blackberry Spritzer and turns it into a Mojito recipe:

You also realized Trader Joe's Blackberry Spritzer is not the most flavorful thing Trader Joe's makes. It's light and refreshing, but it's color leads you to believe it's going to have a lot more taste going on. So you could 1) drink it as is 2) dump it or 3) Make an alcoholic beverage which already has a lot of flavor to it.

My review said it reminded me of summer. I know it's December, but I'm longing for summer right now. So I made the most summery drink I could think of. It was tasty, well balanced, and the blackberry spritzer worked perfectly with it. This makes 1 glass of Mojito.
