1. In a cocktail shaker, using a muddling stick, muddle the mint and sugar.  Add the blackberries and muddle to get the juice out, but not so much that they are completely mushed. 
2. Add in ice and white rum.  Shake.
3. Pour into glass.  Add in the sparkling cranberry juice. 
4. Garnish with mint sprig and enjoy!
