How (and why) to confuse

The best way to bring fruit and herbal flavors into a cocktail? Confusion. When grinding, herbs or fruits are gently crushed to release their juice. For the blackberry mojito, mash the mint and blackberries, then add the remaining ingredients. Here’s what to do:

• Use a cocktail pestle. It’s the right tool for the job! It’s easier to use a cocktail muddler like this one, or you can use an unfinished wooden spoon.
• Crush the mint first. This will help loosen the oils from the mint before liquids are added.
• Add the blackberries and puree again. Puree the berries until they form a juice. Then add the ingredients, shake with ice and strain the drink. Don’t have a cocktail shaker? You can use a glass jar with a lid (drill holes in the lid for straining).
