Ingredients
Scale
For the Blueberry Simple Syrup
- ½ cup granulated sugar
- 1 cup water
- 1 cup blueberries
For the Mocktail
- Ice, as needed
- 2 oz freshly squeezed lemon juice
- 2 oz blueberry simple syrup
- Lemon or lime flavored sparkling water, to top off
Instructions
- Make the Blueberry Simple Syrup: In a small saucepan, combine ½ cup granulated sugar, 1 cup water, and 1 cup blueberries. Bring the mixture to a gentle boil over medium heat, stirring occasionally until the sugar dissolves. Reduce heat and simmer for 10 minutes, allowing the blueberries to release their flavor.
- Strain the Syrup: Remove the saucepan from heat and strain the syrup through a fine mesh sieve into a clean container to remove blueberry solids. Let it cool to room temperature before using.
- Prepare the Mocktail: Fill a glass with ice. Pour 2 oz of freshly squeezed lemon juice and 2 oz of the cooled blueberry simple syrup over the ice.
- Add Sparkling Water: Top off the glass with lemon or lime flavored sparkling water to your taste, giving the mocktail a refreshing fizz.
- Garnish and Serve: Optionally, garnish with a few fresh blueberries or a lemon slice for an added decorative touch. Serve immediately and enjoy your crisp and refreshing lemon blueberry mocktail!
Notes
- The blueberry simple syrup can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 1 week.
- Adjust the sweetness by varying the amount of simple syrup according to taste.
- For an extra tangy flavor, use freshly squeezed lime juice instead of lemon juice.
- This mocktail is naturally gluten-free and vegan.
