Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients
- 1 cup fresh blueberries
- 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
- Handful of gummy bears (your preferred fruity flavors)
- 1 cup sparkling water
- 1 tablespoon simple syrup (natural)
- 1 tablespoon blueberry syrup (natural)
- Ice cubes as needed
Instructions
- Prepare the Blueberry Mixture: Gently mash the fresh blueberries in a bowl to release their natural juices and color. Combine the mashed blueberries with the blueberry syrup (natural) to deepen the fruity flavor base.
- Mix the Lemon Base: In a shaker or mixing glass, add freshly squeezed lemon juice and simple syrup (natural). This brightens the flavor and balances the tartness with sweetness.
- Combine and Shake: Add the blueberry mixture to the lemon base. Fill the shaker with ice cubes and pour in sparkling water. Shake gently to mix while preserving the fizz.
- Prepare the Glass and Gummy Bears: Select a tall, clear glass. Place a handful of gummy bears inside the glass to soak slightly and impart sweetness without melting.
- Pour and Garnish: Slowly pour the shaken mocktail over the gummy bears and ice. Garnish with a few whole blueberries and a lemon wheel on the rim for a fresh aroma and attractive presentation.
Notes
- Use fresh blueberries and lemons for the best flavor and vibrant color.
- Chill your glasses beforehand to maintain the mocktail’s refreshing temperature longer.
- Adjust the sweetness by adding simple syrup (natural) gradually to suit your taste.
- Choose fruity, flavorful gummy bears to enhance taste and appearance.
- Shake gently after adding sparkling water to retain carbonation.
