Hey Mommas!! I hope you all have had a fabulous week! Who's excited about the weekend?? I sure am! For those of you that don't know, I am a very proud Former Texas Aggie and we have a big game tomorrow! We're planning on "beatin' the hell outta" Tennessee!! Whoop!! It's been a challenging but rewarding week for me. For more on the challenging part, refer to my previous blog post titled Momma Trials & Tribulations. Little Monkey is finally back at school today and I'm so glad he's finally feeling better. So to kick off this great weekend, I have made you a delicious Blackberry Rum Punch!!
Rum Punch is like the quintessential party drink. Just throw a couple different types of rum in the bowl with some fruit juices, fruit, and maybe a little lemon-lime soda and you got yourself a PARTAYYY!! Well, this Blackberry Rum Punch is a little more sophisticated than that, but still easy as can be. Make one this weekend and enjoy yourself Momma!!

MOMMA MOJITO'S BLACKBERRY RUM PUNCH
Ingredients:
- 1 oz. White Rum
- 1 oz. Pineapple Rum
- 2 oz. Orange Juice
- 1.5 oz. Pineapple Juice
- Big Splash of Grenadine
- Lemon-Lime Soda to Taste
- Juice of half a Lemon
- 8 Blackberries
- 1 Sugar Cube
- Ice
- Fresh Mint Sprig and Lemon Slice to Garnish
Directions:
In a pint glass or large glass of your choosing, place the blackberries, sugar cube, and lemon juice at the bottom. Muddle very slightly. You want to release the flavor of the blackberries without turning them into mush. Now add some ice filled to about 2/3 of the glass. Next, add your rums, grenadine, pineapple juice, and orange juice in that order. Now, top off the glass with your lemon-lime soda. Stir the whole thing up lightly. Lastly, garnish with the mint and lemon slice. Done!! Enjoy Mommas!! See you next week for another edition of Friday Cocktail Time!!
