This refreshing blueberry mocktail skips the booze but keeps the party vibe alive. Made with a sparkling blend of fresh blueberries, raspberries, mint, lime juice, and soda water, this effortlessly elegant drink takes just 10 minutes to make. Perfect for daytime events, family-friendly gatherings, or for winding down after a long day.
Divide the blueberries, raspberries, and mint leaves evenly between two glasses.
Gently muddle with the back of a spoon or muddler to release the flavors. Put just enough pressure to bruise the mint without making it bitter.
Add ½ tablespoon of simple syrup to each glass, adjusting to taste, then squeeze in the juice of half a lime per glass.
Fill each glass with ice cubes and top with 1 cup of soda water.
Stir well to blend the ingredients, then chill. Garnish with a fresh mint sprig and a lime wedge. Serve immediately.
Notes
The riper your blueberries and raspberries, the sweeter and more vibrant your mocktail will be.
Keep your fruits, soda water, and glasses chilled before assembling the mocktail to keep the drink refreshing without needing too much ice.
Swap plain soda water with a naturally flavored one like berry, lime, or cucumber mint.
Use crushed iceas it melts slower and adds texture.
A sprig of mint, a few whole berries, and a lime wedge make the drink party-ready!
Hosting a party? Muddle the fruit and mint in a pitcher, multiply the ingredients, and top with soda water just before serving to keep it bubbly and fresh.
Serve: Enjoy with light, fresh appetizers, a salad, or a cheese and charcuterie board. Serve with brunch items like blueberry scones, fruit tarts, or mini quiches. For dessert, try it with shortbread cookies, drop biscuits, or lemon bars.Store: Strain out the mint and muddled fruit from the leftover blueberry mocktail and store the liquid in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days, though it's best enjoyed the same day for peak fizz and flavor. When ready to serve again, stir well and top with fresh ice, mint, and a splash of soda water.
