Equipment

Ingredients

For a sweeter drink, adjust the honey amount to taste. Frozen blackberries can substitute for fresh ones if needed. The coconut water adds subtle flavor, but regular water works too.

Instructions

Notes

This mocktail can be prepared ahead of time by making the blackberry mixture and freezing it. Just thaw slightly before serving.
For a grown-up version, add 1 ounce of white rum or vodka per serving. The recipe works well with other berries too – try raspberries or a berry mix for variety.
For a thicker consistency, freeze some of the blackberries before blending. Those watching sugar intake can replace honey with a sugar-free sweetener.
Store leftover mixture in the freezer for up to 3 days. Allow it to thaw slightly before re-blending to serve.

Tasting Notes

The Blackberry Mint Freeze Mocktail offers a delightful mix of sweet and tart flavors. Fresh blackberries provide a rich berry taste with subtle earthy notes that form the drink’s flavor foundation.

Mint adds a cooling effect that complements the blackberry’s sweetness. This herbal note cuts through the fruit’s intensity and creates a refreshing balance.

The frozen texture gives this mocktail its signature quality. Unlike regular drinks, this semi-frozen consistency coats the palate longer, allowing flavors to develop gradually with each sip.

Flavor Profile:

  • First sip: Cool mint sensation
  • Mid-palate: Sweet-tart blackberry notes
  • Finish: Clean, refreshing aftertaste

A hint of lime adds brightness that prevents the drink from becoming too sweet. This touch of acidity enhances the blackberry flavor while creating a more complex taste experience.

When properly blended, the mocktail should have tiny ice crystals that melt slowly in the mouth. This creates a pleasant textural contrast to the smooth blackberry puree.

The drink works well year-round but tastes especially good on hot days when its cooling properties shine. Its purple-red color and frosted appearance make it visually appealing as well.

Mint Alternatives:

No blender? Muddle fresh berries with mint and sweetener in a glass, then add ice and liquids.

This recipe is very flexible. The key is keeping the balance between sweet fruit, tart citrus, fresh herbs, and fizzy liquid.
