    This blueberry mocktail made with fresh lime juice and simple syrup makes a refreshing drink for hot summer days, baby showers, or family events. Enjoy a delicious drink without the booze!

    I love making fruity mocktails because they’re so easy and taste great during all seasons. Not to mention the blueberry syrup in this recipe gives it a vibrant blue color.

    Whether you’re an expecting mother, designated driver, or simply choose not to drink, fruity mocktail recipes are the perfect option. You get the fun flavors of alcoholic drinks without any of the after effects.

    Some of my favorite mocktails are my blue lagoon mocktail and my fresh raspberry mocktail. Another great thing about non-alcoholic drinks is that the whole family can enjoy them. Not just the adults!

    This thanksgiving mocktail and this candy cane mocktail are always big hits around the holiday season. Some other great non-alcoholic drinks for the holidays are my crockpot apple cider and non alcoholic mulled wine.

    What is a mocktail made of?

    Your ingredients will differ depending on the type of mocktail you’re making. But generally a mocktail is made with a base such as sparkling water, ginger beer, club soda, etc.

    After the base, juices, simple syrups, and other add-ins are necessary for more flavor. Lime juice is found in a lot of mocktail recipes as well as lime wedges for garnishing.

    You can find more information about what a mocktail is in this post. There’s so many different ways to make fun non-alcoholic drinks! While you’re at it, check out our tasty new ginger beer mocktail.

    Ingredients for blueberry mocktail

    Like with our other fruity mocktail recipes, this great drink is made with simple ingredients for the perfect refreshing taste. See the recipe card for the full quantity and list of ingredients.

    Non-alcoholic gin

    I like using Caleno brand non-alcoholic gin but you can use whatever you have on hand. I find that using virgin gin instead of another base gives this drink an authentic taste.

    Blueberry simple syrup

    The blueberry simple syrup is what adds the blueberry flavor to this recipe. It’s made with fresh blueberries, sugar, and water for an easy recipe.

    Fresh thyme

    This recipe calls for thyme in the drink and I also like topping this drink with fresh thyme for some extra flavor. Fresh mint leaves are another great topping option.

    Club soda

    Club soda is the base for a classic blueberry cocktail so to keep the flavor the same, I use it in this recipe as well.

    Step-by-Step Blueberry Mocktail

    How to make a blueberry mocktail

    There’s only four easy steps to this recipe. You’ll have to repeat the steps when making larger batches.

    Step 1: In a cocktail mixer muddle the blueberry simple syrup and thyme.

    Step 2: Fill the mixer with ice then add gin & lemon juice and shake until outside of shaker gets cold.

    Step 3: Strain into a glass filled with ice and add club soda.

    Step 4: Garnish with fresh lemon or lime wedges and thyme.

    Pro Tip: Add sweet blueberries for a deeper blueberry flavor!

    Expert tips and FAQs

    Can mocktails be alcoholic?

    Mocktails do not contain alcohol. They’re a mix of juices, sodas, syrups, and other ingredients to replicate a cocktail without the alcohol. They’re great for pregnant women, kids, designated drivers, or anyone who simply chooses not to drink.

    Can you use food coloring in mocktails?

    I would recommend avoiding using food coloring in your mocktails as consuming large amounts of food colors could pose a health risk. If you’re looking for a more vibrant color, add frozen blueberries or other fruit.

    What mixes well with blueberries?

    I love mixing blueberries with lemons or limes. I think the tanginess of the lemons compliments the sweet blueberries perfectly. Mint leaves, strawberries, and coconut also pair well with blueberries.
