Instructions
Split the blueberries, raspberries, and mint leaves between two glasses.
Use the back of a spoon or a muddler to press everything just enough to release the flavors. Be gentle with the mint so it stays fresh, not bitter.
Pour in ½ tablespoon of simple syrup and squeeze in the juice from half a lime into each glass. Adjust the sweetness to your liking.
Add a handful of ice to each glass, then pour in about 1 cup of soda water.
Give it a good stir to mix everything together. Add a sprig of mint and a lime wedge on top, then enjoy it while it’s nice and cold.
Notes
Chilled ingredientsand glasses help keep your drink refreshing without needing too much ice.
The riper your berries are, the better the mocktail will taste. If they’re a bit tart, just add a little extra syrup to even things out.
Try a naturally flavored soda water like berry, lime, or cucumber mint to add more depth without overpowering the fresh ingredients.
Crushed iceadds texture and melts more slowly than whole cubes. Don’t have any? Just pulse a few cubes in a blender or lightly smash them in a towel.
If you’re making drinks for a group, muddle the berries and mint in a pitcher, add the other ingredients, and pour in the soda water right before serving.
A sprig of mint, some whole berries, and a slice of lime instantly make the drink look festive and fun to serve.
Serve: It pairs well with light snacks like cucumber roll-ups, deviled eggs, or a cheese board. It’s great with brunch favorites like scones, tarts, or mini quiches. For dessert, try cookies and palmiers..Store: Strain out the mint and berries, then store the liquid in a sealed container in the fridge. It’ll stay fresh for up to 2 days, though the fizz is best on day one. When ready to serve, stir well and add fresh ice, mint, and a splash of soda water.
