The Honey Blackberry Mint Mocktail is a naturally sweet and refreshing beverage that combines the rich flavor of blackberries, the coolness of mint, and the tangy twist of lemon juice. 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.

Ingredients

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

Instructions

  • 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!

Notes

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.
