Ingredients
- ½ Cup Maple Syrup
- 2 Lemons juiced
- 2 Cups Blackberries frozen
- 4 Cans Sparkling Water unsweetened
Instructions
- In a small bowl, combine the blackberries, maple syrup, and freshly squeezed lemon juice. Gently muddle with a fork or muddler to release the juices, mixing well while leaving some berries partially intact for texture and visual appeal.
- Get out 4 cocktail or highball glasses. Divide the blackberry syrup (including some berries) between the glasses, then slowly top with sparkling water. Gently stir to combine and serve immediately while cold and fizzy.
Notes
- Muddle, Don't Mash: Gently press the blackberries to release juice while leaving some whole for texture and visual appeal.
- Adjust Sweetness: Taste the syrup first; add a bit more maple syrup if you prefer a sweeter mocktail.
- Make Extra Syrup: Keep leftover blackberry syrup in the fridge for quick mocktails all week.
- Garnish: Lemon wedges, fresh mint, or whole berries on a pick make the drink look elegant.
