In my day signature cocktails were for weddings and holiday parties. Lately it seems every backyard BBQ or Sunday coffee hour is a perfect excuse to serve up a special elixir "just for such an occasion." Am I right? I blame Pinterest.
Nowadays everyone's a mixologist and every picnic, birthday party or potluck isn't worth its salt without the perfect libation accompaniment. But before I climb too far up on my high horse I should mention that this is one trend I'm warming up to. After all, there are actually a lot of great reasons why serving a signature drink at your next get-together might be something you should consider.
For one, a fun cocktail is a great conversation starter and you can get everyone involved in making their own. It's also a great way to use up any seasonal produce that you're drowning in from your garden or co-op. And in addition, it can also be a great way to save money. Instead of stocking up on multiple varieties of wine, beer, or spirits for your next party you can instead buy a larger (and more economical) bottle of one spirit. And if it's going to be mixed into a cocktail anyway you can definitely skip the top shelf stuff and save yourself even more money.
This Blackberry Mojito is a crowd pleaser that would be perfect to serve at your next get-together. It's not terribly difficult to make but it's stunningly beautiful – especially when served in a mason jar. Where I live in New England blackberries are abundant in early fall so right now is a great time to snag a punnet of blackberries at a great price.

We all like the idea of making our families healthy meals, saving money and doing our part to cut down on waste.
But we also like the idea of getting a good night’s sleep, not having a huge mess to clean up in the kitchen after dinner and — just maybe — having time to watch a bit of Netflix or read a book.
