Blueberry Lime Mocktail
The full ingredients list and instructions are found in the printable recipe card at the end of this post. I highly recommend reading the blog post all the way through so that you don’t miss any tips or substitution suggestions and to ensure that you have all the ingredients and equipment required as well as understand the steps and timings involved.
This refreshing and fruity mocktail begins life with a blueberry syrup that is made using fresh or frozen blueberries, fresh limes, sugar, and water. Don’t be scared about making a syrup, it is really quite simple!
You will need a small, fine mesh sieve to push the cooked blueberries through when making the syrup, and a mason jar to store the syrup in. The syrup keeps for up to two weeks in the fridge so you can continue to enjoy the sweet goodness!
Zesty fresh lime goes into the syrup, and you can then make your cocktail in a variety of different ways – still, sparkling, or frozen!
For a still beverage, use still mineral water; for a sparkling drink use club soda, sparkling mineral water, or even lemon-lime soda; and to turn this mocktail into a frozen slush, blend the syrup with lots of crushed ice!
You could spike the drink too if you like – vodka would go really well!
