Blueberry Mocktail ingredients
There's only a small amount of ingredients which makes this all the easier to make!
- Blueberries
- Lemon Juice
- Agave Syrup
- Sparkling Water
You absolutely want to use fresh lemon juice. The bottled stuff won't do! The bottled flavor is NOT as fresh and delicious, and just doesn't taste as lemony.
Check out the recipe card below for quantities.
How To Make this Lemon Blueberry Mocktail
Start by putting the blueberries into the glass, and muddle them. If you don't have a muddler, you can use the back of a spoon.
Add in the lemon juice and agave syrup, then pour in the sparkling water.
Gently mix until most of the syrup is mixed with the water.
Mix, garnish and enjoy!
Garnish Options
- Put a lemon slice on a toothpick and lay it across the top of the glass.
- Place a sprig or thyme in the drink.
- Place a sprig of rosemary in the drink.
Top Tip
If you don't want to stir out all the bubbles, mix in only half of the water in with the agave. Then when it's mixed or mostly mix, pour in the other half with no need to stir any more.
A fruit mocktail is a non-alcoholic drink filled with fruit for the flavor! They can be lower in sugar as well, making them a light and healthy drink!
This blueberry mocktail is made from blueberries! Blueberry is the base for the flavor here and is the star of the show!
Yes! There is no alcohol in a mocktail.
You can use frozen blueberries, but you'll need to let them thaw first, then make the recipe like normal. I would even put the thawed liquid from the blueberries in the drink, as it will make the color even more beautiful.
What to Serve with this Recipe
At the restaurant where I had this mocktail, we had tacos, rice bowls, and guacamole. They all paired fabulously! Such a refreshing drink for delightful food!

Nice!!!!! I definitely have to try this myself. Every now and then, my friends host a Taco Tuesdays. We'll experiment with this first and hopefully incorporate it into Taco Tuesdays. Sangrias are nice, but it wouldn't be so bad to mix it up =D
Great post!!!
