Recently someone asked me about my recipes. I’ve been posting less of them here on Horses & Heels. Have I stopped cooking? No. Truthfully, recipe posts take a lot of time – which is something I don’t have a lot of. On occasion I do contribute paid content to outside sites so I thought I would share three delicious recipes that you haven’t seen on the blog.
Blackberry Mint Mojitos
Up first, these Blackberry Mint Mojitos! It should almost be blackberry season on the farm at home. Head to your local farmer’s market or backyard to pick some sweet and juicy black berries.
Ingredients
- 1.5 oz blackberry simple syrup (6 oz fresh blackberries, 1 cup water, 1 tbsp sugar)
- 2 cups crushed ice
- 2 oz white rum
- 1 oz club soda
- 10 mint leaves, shredded with herb scissors + several sprigs of mint
- Extra blackberries for garnish
Instructions
- Make the blackberry simple syrup. Add blackberries, water, and sugar to a small sauce pan. Place the contents over a low heat. Gently mash the berries with a spoon and stir occasionally. Once the contents begin to boil, remove them from the heat, and strain the simple syrup into a glass jar or plastic squeeze bottle.
- Add crushed ice and mint leaves to a tall glass. Mix so the mint is evenly distributed.
- Add rum, club soda, and blackberry simple syrup to a cocktail shaker. Shake, and pour over the ice.
- Garnish the drink with blackberries and mint sprigs and enjoy!

Ingredients
- Whole grain bread, sliced

Instructions
- Melt a tablespoon of butter in a large skillet and add bread. Toast over medium until the bread is golden brown or charred to your satisfaction.
- Flip the bread and add a slice of white cheddar, top that with salami, and another layer of white cheddar. Spread a layer of fig preserves on the opposite empty slice of bread.
- Flip the cheese and salami layer on to the skillet for about 30 seconds until it begins to melt. Then remove from heat, assemble the sandwich, and cut if desired.
