Blueberry Ginger Mocktail

Whether you enjoy alcohol or not, it’s nice to have something fresh, colorful, and light to sip on, without the buzz. This blueberry mocktail works just as well on hot summer afternoons as it does during holidays or celebrations when you want something festive in your hand (you can find more ideas in these low calorie mocktails).

Likewise, if you’re currently pregnant or simply skipping alcohol, this naturally sweet, easy mocktail is a great way to still feel included at the party. With only a handful of simple ingredients, it’s the kind of drink you can throw together quickly whenever you need something refreshing.

Quick note: At the very base, cocktails are different from mocktails in the sense that cocktails contain alcohol.. and mocktails do not. However, there are a few more factors, including flavors and how they're made as well. Learn more about the exact difference between a cocktail and mocktail!

Ingredients and Substitutions

• Frozen blueberries: Frozen fruit gives the healthy mocktail a much more refreshing feel, taste, and color. Use up any extra by making blueberry chia pudding with protein powder.
• Ginger: If you’ve ever had ginger beer and loved it, this is going to light up your world! The ginger gives this blueberry mocktail such a potent kick you’ll think you’re sipping on hard liquor, but you’ll wake up fresh.
• Stevia: I always opt to add the stevia last and let whoever I’m sharing with add theirs. This is so that you only add as much as you want in terms of sweetness. Both stevia drops and stevia packets work in the recipe. That said, maple syrup, honey, or sugar work as well. Adding something like rosehip syrup would add some sweetness too and a punch of unique flavor.

Flavor Variations

Berries: Any berry can pair deliciously with ginger, so try a raspberry or blackberry for your next mocktail.

Tropical: If you want, add a ¼ teaspoon of coconut extra to the mocktail for a more tropical flavor.

Mojito: Muddle fresh mint in with the ginger mixture for a mojito-mocktail.

Garnish: I like to add a slice of grapefruit to the side of my sparkling blueberry mocktail for a fresh, fruity taste. You can also garnish the mocktail with these flower ice cubes if you want to step up the aesthetics, too!

How To Make A Blueberry Ginger Mocktail

Step 1: Remove the frozen blueberries and let them thaw while you peel the ginger and slice it into big chunks.Muddle half the blueberries with the ginger.

Step 2: Divide the muddled mixture into two glasses with ice cubes, lime juice, and sweetener.

Step 3: Add in the remaining blueberries, and top it with Perrier to combine.

Step 4: Garnish with a slice of lime or fresh mint and enjoy!

Important Tips To Make It

Adjust the flavor: If you find that the mocktail is too tart, add more stevia or another sweetener like maple syrup. If it's too spicy from the ginger, add more Perrier. And if it's too sweet, bump up the lime juice.

Add the stevia last: Give the blueberry mocktail drink a quick taste before you add the stevia. This way, you can adjust the sweetness level to your own personal preference.

Batching: If you want to make a large batch of this for a party, mix everything together in a large pitcher, but don't add the Perrier. Instead, pour in the fizzy water right before serving so that it remains sparkling.

This blueberry mocktail recipe is best made fresh. Made in advance or stored, it becomes too watered down and loses its flavor. If you love blueberries, rock these blueberries in chocolate too!
