Blueberry Mocktail
A simple blueberry mocktail with ginger, frozen blueberries, and sparkling water for a refreshing drink.
Servings: 4 mocktails
Ingredients
- 1 cup frozen wild blueberries
- 1 ounce peeled, fresh ginger root
- 1 tablespoon honey
- 1 cup filtered water
- 1/2 (optional) lemon, juiced (about 1½ tablespoons)
- 1 12 ounce sparkling water bottle or ginger ale or ginger beer
Instructions
- Blend blueberries, ginger, honey, water, and lemon (if using) in a high-powered blender, on high, for 30 seconds. Strain the mixture through a fine-mesh strainer into a glass jar or measuring cup, using a spoon to push the juice through the strainer until only pulp remains. Taste and adjust any sweetener here. Discard the pulp.
- Add about 1/4 cup of blueberry juice to the bottom of a low glass with ice. Top off with the sparkling water or ginger ale. Add ginger slices for garnish, if desired.
Notes
- Lemon is great for a vitamin C boost for those not on HYH or following a low histamine diet. It's delicious! This recipe is also great without it or you could add another tart juice like pomegranate.
- Non-alcoholic ginger beer that make great mixers are Fever Tree or Regatta.
- Frozen wild blueberries can be found with other frozen fruit. A great deal at Costco or Trader Joes. Regular frozen blueberries can be substituted if not available
