Lightly sweetened with honey and topped with sparkling seltzer, this drink is perfect for any occasion. It’s a quick and easy mocktail that offers a burst of fruity goodness, ideal for summer gatherings or as a light, healthy refreshment year-round.
8 fresh blackberries (plus more for garnish)
1/4 cup honey
A handful of fresh mint leaves (about 10, plus more for garnish)
Juice of 1 lemon
1/2 cup water
2 cups seltzer
Prepare the Blackberry Mint Base:
In a small saucepan, combine blackberries, honey, mint leaves, and water. Heat over medium heat, mashing the blackberries to release their juices. Stir until honey dissolves and berries soften, about 5-7 minutes.
Strain the Mixture:
Remove from heat, then strain through a fine mesh sieve into a bowl or pitcher, pressing to extract as much liquid as possible. Let the liquid cool to room temperature.
Assemble the Mocktail:
Pour 2-3 tablespoons of the blackberry-mint syrup into a glass. Add fresh lemon juice and stir gently.
Fill the glass with ice, top with seltzer, and stir again.
Garnish and Serve:
Garnish with extra blackberries and mint leaves. Serve chilled and enjoy!
Storage: Leftover blackberry-mint syrup can be stored in an airtight container in the fridge for 4-5 days. Prepare fresh mocktails by mixing the syrup with seltzer and ice when ready.
Variations: Try using agave syrup or maple syrup instead of honey. Add other berries like raspberries or strawberries for a mixed berry version. For an adult version, add rum or gin for a fun twist.
