For the mint-lime simple syrup:
Combine water and sugar in a saucepan and reduce heat to medium. Continue to stir until all the sugar is dissolved. Remove from the heat and add the lime zest and mint. Allow to cool completely before use.
For the boysenberry mojitos:
In a tall glass, add the mint leaves and boysenberries, and about 2 tablespoons of crushed ice. Using the handle of a wooden spoon, mash the mixture, pressing all the ingredients into the glass, breaking them up to make a paste.
Fill the glass to the brim with crushed ice, then add the rum, simple syrup and lime juice. Using a long spoon, combine the ingredients. Garnish with sparkling water, lime wedge, fresh boysenberry and mint. Enjoy!
Note: You can use blackberries, raspberries or blueberries instead of boysenberries.
