Ingredients

  • 1 cup fresh blueberries
  • 1 cup water
  • ½ cup sugar
  • 1 cup freshly squeezed lemon juice (about 4 lemons)
  • 3 cups sparkling water
  • Ice cubes
  • Lemon slices and mint for garnish

Directions

  • In an All-Clad D3 Stainless Everyday 1.5 Quart Saucepan, combine blueberries, water, and sugar. Bring to a boil over medium heat, then lower to a simmer for 5 minutes until the blueberries burst and the syrup thickens.
  • Strain the mixture through a fine mesh sieve into an All-Clad Stainless Steel Mixing Bowl to remove solids. Let it cool completely.
  • Add lemon juice to the cooled blueberry syrup and stir to combine.
  • Fill an All-Clad Pro-Release 12-Cup Muffin Pan with water and freeze to make large ice cubes ahead of time.
  • Fill each glass with the blueberry-lemon mixture, sparkling water, and a couple of your oversized ice cubes.
  • Garnish with a slice of lemon and a sprig of mint before serving.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I make this ahead of time?

Can I turn this into a cocktail?

Lemon Blueberry Drink

Made with fresh blueberries, lemon juice, and a touch of fizz, it delivers the perfect balance of citrus flavor and natural sweetness. Whether you’re serving it at a backyard barbecue or a brunch, it’s a mocktail everyone can enjoy.

Refreshing Mocktail Tips

For the best flavor, muddle your fresh blueberries before adding them to the cocktail shaker or mixer. This releases their natural juices and enhances the drink’s fruity depth. Using frozen berries instead of ice cubes is a great way to chill the drink without diluting it. You can also experiment with adding a splash of club soda or ginger ale for a bubbly twist.

How to Serve?

Serve your mocktail in tall glasses with ice, garnished with a lemon wheel and a few extra berries. It’s a beautiful, refreshing treat that’s as pretty as it is delicious.
