Last weekend Thomas and I were out on a double date when we happened across a cute little bar in Santa Monica that made the most excellent cocktails. I strayed from my go-to drink of a Moscow Mule and instead opted for this heavenly number. I've dubbed it the Blackberry Pineapple Smash and we've recreated it a few times since.

It's a simple cocktail of muddled blackberries, clear rum, fresh lime juice, pineapple juice and a touch of mint. Done. Easy as that. Shake, shake, shake and then it's done. It's 100% my new go-to spring cocktail of choice. And if you need me this weekend, I'll be sipping these poolside while trying desperately to work on my tan!

  1. We made these with one variation - we used pineapple soda instead of pineapple juice and club soda. I bet they were slightly sweeter than this recipe, but they were still really tasty! I wonder if this recipe would work well subbing strawberries instead of blackberries. (And yes, I realize that it's not summer right now, but hey, a good cocktail is a good cocktail no matter what time of year!)

  2. These cocktails deeeeeefinitely have me dreaming of Friday! Gonna get smashed...! Er. I mean, the blackberries and pineapples are getting smashed 😉

  3. Wow, those look soooo yummy! And pretty 🙂 Definitely trying this for our next girls' night. Thanks for sharing this 🙂

  4. I want to hurt you that you will be anywhere working on your tan. I guess I'll make myself one of these beauties and try to forget you just said that.

  5. wow girl, these drinks are GORGEOUS!! they have all the ingredients for a great drink! can you make them for me next time I'm in LA?? 🙂

  6. I LOVE everything about this drink! Gorgeous color. Love the fruit blend. And love any excuse to make it feel like summer!!!!

  7. I love it when a bar/restaurant sparks cocktail inspiration. And this is definitely a perfect pool-side libation. Cheers!
