Mocktail Ingredients
- 1/2 cup fresh blueberries
- 6–8 fresh basil leaves
- 2 tablespoons freshly squeezed lemon juice
- 1 1/2 tablespoons lavender syrup
- 1 cup soda water (sparkling water)
Instructions
- Muddle the Blueberries and Basil: In a sturdy glass or cocktail shaker, combine the fresh blueberries and basil leaves. Use a muddler or the back of a spoon to gently crush them together to release their juices and aromas, creating a flavorful base.
- Add Lemon Juice and Lavender Syrup: Pour in the freshly squeezed lemon juice and the lavender syrup. Stir or shake gently to blend these ingredients thoroughly with the muddled fruit and herbs.
- Top with Soda: Slowly add the soda water to the mixture. Stir gently once more to combine without losing the carbonation, ensuring a bubbly and refreshing mocktail.
- Serve: Pour the mocktail into serving glasses, optionally garnishing with a sprig of basil or a few extra blueberries for visual appeal. Serve immediately to enjoy the fresh flavors and effervescence.
Notes
- Use fresh, ripe blueberries for the best flavor.
- Adjust lavender syrup quantity to your preferred sweetness level.
- For a more intense lavender flavor, add a few dried lavender buds during muddling, then strain before serving.
- This mocktail is best served chilled and consumed immediately.
- Can be made in batches by multiplying the ingredients and mixing in a pitcher.
