Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 1 cup fresh blueberries
  • 1 tablespoon natural sweetener (honey, agave syrup, or maple syrup)
  • 1/2 cup freshly squeezed lemon juice (natural)
  • 1 teaspoon apple cider vinegar (natural)
  • 1 cup sparkling water (chilled)
  • Plant-based gummy bears, for garnish
  • Water, a splash (for blending)

Optional Ingredients for Variations

  • Raspberries and strawberries (fresh or frozen) for berry medley
  • Fresh mint or basil leaves
  • Lemon or blueberry-flavored sparkling water
  • Frozen blueberries (to use as ice cubes)
  • Natural gelling agent (for homemade infused gummies)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Blueberry Purée: Blend fresh blueberries with a splash of water and a touch of natural sweetener until smooth. Strain the mixture through a fine sieve to remove skins and seeds, creating a silky purée that infuses the mocktail with concentrated blueberry flavor.
  2. Freshly Squeeze Lemon Juice: Squeeze lemons just before mixing to preserve natural oils and brightness, adding vibrant acidity and freshness essential to the mocktail’s lively zing.
  3. Mix Blueberry Purée and Lemon: In a shaker or large glass, combine the blueberry purée with the freshly squeezed lemon juice and apple cider vinegar. Stir well to marry the flavors and create a balanced base for the mocktail.
  4. Add Sweetener and Sparkling Water: Stir in your preferred amount of natural sweetener, adjusting to taste, then pour in chilled sparkling water to bring the drink to life with bubbles and lightness.
  5. Serve with Plant-Based Gummy Bears: Pour the mocktail over ice in tall glasses and garnish with colorful plant-based gummy bears for a playful, whimsical touch that charms kids and adults alike.

Notes

  • Use fresh blueberries and freshly squeezed lemon juice for the best flavor.
  • Adjust sweetness gradually, tasting as you go to avoid overpowering the fruitiness.
  • Chill all ingredients and glassware to keep the mocktail cold longer.
  • Experiment with garnishes like fresh mint or edible flowers for enhanced aroma and presentation.
  • Make your own plant-based gummy bears infused with blueberry and lemon using a natural gelling agent for a creative homemade touch.
