  • Author: ANA ARMAS
  • Total Time: 5 minutes
  • Yield: 2 mocktails

Description

This Blackberry Mocktail is a fizzy, fruity, and stunning alcohol-free drink that’s perfect for parties, brunches, or any moment in need of refreshment. With juicy blackberries, zesty lemon, fresh mint, and a bubbly finish, it’s a gorgeous glass of summer flavor—without the booze!


Ingredients

  • 1 cup fresh blackberries (or thawed frozen berries)

  • 1 tbsp fresh lemon juice

  • 1 tbsp honey or simple syrup (adjust to taste)

  • 1 cup sparkling water or ginger ale

  • 45 mint leaves or basil leaves

  • Ice cubes

  • Optional: Lemon slices and whole blackberries for garnish


Instructions

  1. In a shaker or large glass, muddle the blackberries, mint leaves, and honey until the berries are broken down and fragrant.

  2. Add the lemon juice and stir well to combine.

  3. Strain the mixture through a fine mesh sieve if you prefer a smoother texture without seeds.

  4. Fill two serving glasses with ice and divide the berry mixture between them.

  5. Top each glass with sparkling water or ginger ale and gently stir.

  6. Garnish with lemon slices and whole blackberries. Serve immediately.

Notes

  • For a sweeter version, use ginger ale instead of sparkling water.

  • Make the berry-lemon base ahead of time and refrigerate, then add fizz just before serving.

  • Use frozen blackberries if fresh ones aren’t in season—just thaw before muddling.

  • Freeze leftover berry mix into ice cubes for future drinks or smoothies.
