Description

This Blueberry Lemon Mocktail Spritzer is a vibrant, refreshing, and alcohol-free drink that beautifully combines the tangy brightness of fresh lemon with the sweet burst of blueberries. Perfect for summer days or special gatherings, this fizzy mocktail features a homemade blueberry syrup, sparkling water, and a touch of mint for an elegant, restaurant-quality presentation. It’s the ultimate cooling beverage that’s as beautiful as it is delicious — light, fruity, and bursting with natural flavor.

Ingredients
    For the Blueberry Syrup:
  • 1 cup fresh blueberries (washed)
  • ½ cup water
  • ¼ cup sugar (adjust to taste)
  • 1 tsp lemon zest (freshly grated)
  • 1 tbsp fresh lemon juice
    • For the Mocktail Base:
  • 2 tbsp blueberry syrup (per glass)
  • 2 tbsp fresh lemon juice (per glass)
  • ½ cup chilled sparkling water (per glass)
  • ¼ cup chilled soda water (per glass)
  • 3 fresh 3–4 blueberries (for garnish)
  • 1 lemon slice (for garnish)
  • Fresh mint leaves (for garnish)
  • Ice cubes (as needed)
Instructions
    Prepare the Blueberry Syrup
  1. 1
    In a small saucepan, combine blueberries, water, sugar, and lemon zest. Place over medium heat and bring to a gentle simmer. Stir occasionally until the blueberries soften and burst, releasing their deep purple juice (about 6–8 minutes).
    2. Strain the Syrup
  2. 2
    Once cooked, remove from heat and mash the blueberries gently with a spoon to extract all the juice. Strain the mixture through a fine sieve into a bowl or jar, pressing down on the berries to get maximum flavor. Stir in 1 tablespoon of fresh lemon juice. Allow the syrup to cool completely before using.
    3. Prepare the Glasses
  3. 3
    Take 4 tall serving glasses. Add 2 tablespoons of the blueberry syrup into each glass. Squeeze 2 tablespoons of fresh lemon juice into each and stir lightly to mix the flavors.
    4. Add Ice and Sparkle
  4. 4
    Add a few ice cubes to each glass, followed by ½ cup chilled sparkling water and ¼ cup chilled soda water. Gently stir to combine — the mixture should be bubbly, fragrant, and beautifully purple-pink in color.
    5. Garnish and Serve
  5. 5
    Top each glass with fresh blueberries, a lemon slice, and a sprig of mint. Serve immediately while chilled and fizzy.
Note

Sweetness Control: You can adjust the syrup’s sweetness by increasing or reducing the sugar.

Make Ahead: The blueberry syrup can be made up to 5 days in advance and stored in a sealed jar in the refrigerator.

Flavor Variations: Try adding a few crushed raspberries or strawberries for a mixed-berry twist.

Serving Suggestion: Serve the mocktail with a sugar-rimmed glass for extra presentation points.
