Ingredients for a Blueberry Spritz Mocktail

This mocktail is made with simple ingredients for a fun, flavorful, and refreshing drink. Here’s what you’ll need:

Blueberry Simple Syrup

This homemade blueberry syrup gives the drink its fruity flavor and vibrant purple color. It adds just the right amount of sweetness to balance the tartness from the lemon.

Fresh Lemon Juice

Freshly squeezed lemon juice adds a bright, citrusy tang that complements the blueberry syrup and livens up the drink. Use fresh lemons for the best taste.

Club Soda

Club soda provides the fizzy, bubbly texture that makes this drink so refreshing. Its light, mineral flavor ties everything together. You can also choose sparkling water for a softer taste.

Garnishes

Add a lemon wheel, some fresh blueberries, or a sprig of mint for a playful finishing touch. These little extras make the drink feel as fun to look at as it is to drink.

With these ingredients, you can create a mocktail that’s fresh, delicious, and perfect for any day.

Scaling Up Blueberry Spritz Mocktails for a Party

This drink is easy to scale if you’re serving a group. To make things simple and still preserve the crisp, bubbly finish, start by pre-mixing the blueberry simple syrup and lemon juice in a carafe or jar. Use the same ratio—1½ ounces of syrup to 1 ounce of lemon juice per serving—and refrigerate the mixture until ready to serve.

Just before serving, give the mixture a quick stir or shake to ensure the flavors are evenly blended. Then, fill each glass with ice and add 2½ ounces of the mixture. Top with 4 to 5 ounces of chilled club soda or sparkling water, stir gently, and garnish with a lemon wheel or a few blueberries. This method lets you batch the base in advance while keeping each glass fresh, fizzy, and ready for a crowd. 

Tips for Making the Perfect Blueberry Spritz Mocktail

Shake Before Adding the Bubbles

Always start by shaking the blueberry syrup and lemon juice with ice. It chills the drink and blends the flavors. Pour in the club soda after shaking to keep all the refreshing fizz.

Choose Your Bubbles 

Club soda is a classic option for a crisp spritz feel, but sparkling or mineral water works well if you prefer a smoother finish. Choose what suits your taste!

Serve It Cold and Bubbly

This drink is best enjoyed fresh. Serve your spritz immediately after preparing it to keep it as cold and bubbly as possible.  

Pick the Perfect Glass:

Glass choice can elevate the presentation of your mocktail. A stemless wine glass offers a casual, modern feel, while a tall Collins glass gives it a more polished and classic look. Either option will highlight the drink beautifully, so choose what feels right for the occasion.

Add a Garnish:

Add a slice of lemon with a handful of blueberries for a pop of bright color and flavor. You can also add a sprig of mint for a refreshing smell and a touch of green. These small details aren’t necessary but can make your drink feel a little more special.
