Perfect for parties, summer gatherings, or elegant celebrations, this mocktail delivers a bold flavor with a crisp, fizzy finish—no alcohol required.

Ingredients
    For the Blood Orange Base
  • 1 cup fresh blood orange juice (strained, pulp-free)
  • 1 tbsp fresh lemon juice
  • 1 tbsp honey or sugar syrup (adjust to taste)
    • For the Sparkling Finish
  • 1 cup chilled sparkling water or soda water
    • For Garnish (Optional but Recommended)
  • 2 slices blood orange
  • Fresh mint leaves
  • Ice cubes as needed
Instructions
    Prepare the Fresh Juice
  1. 1
    Wash the blood oranges thoroughly. Cut them in half and squeeze out the juice using a citrus juicer. Strain the juice through a fine sieve to remove pulp and seeds. Fresh juice gives the mocktail its deep ruby color and bold citrus flavor.
    2. Balance the Flavor
  2. 2
    In a mixing jug, add the fresh blood orange juice, lemon juice, and honey or sugar syrup. Stir well until the sweetener is completely dissolved. Taste and adjust sweetness or acidity according to your preference.
    3. Assemble the Mocktail
  3. 3
    Fill serving glasses with ice cubes. Pour the prepared blood orange mixture halfway into each glass.
    4. Add Sparkle
  4. 4
    Slowly top each glass with chilled sparkling water. Stir gently once to keep the fizz intact while evenly blending the flavors.
    5. Garnish and Serve
  5. 5
    Garnish with a slice of blood orange and a few fresh mint leaves. Serve immediately while cold and bubbly.
Note

You can replace honey with maple syrup or sugar syrup for a vegan version.

Chill all ingredients before assembling for the best refreshing taste.

For a sweeter mocktail, add a splash of orange soda instead of plain sparkling water.

Best consumed immediately; not suitable for long storage once mixed.
