I’m always on the lookout for new drinks that taste great and look impressive, but don’t need any alcohol.
The Evergreen Fizz Mocktail is a fresh and simple recipe that just about anyone can whip up at home.
Its bright green color and fizzy bubbles make it a hit at parties or family get-togethers. Honestly, it’s also just perfect for cooling off on a warm afternoon.
The first time I tried this recipe, I was genuinely surprised by how easy it was. You only need a few ingredients—no fancy bartending moves required.
Just mix, pour, and you’re good to go. This drink has a crisp, refreshing flavor that people always seem to ask about.
Evergreen Fizz Mocktail Recipe
I really enjoy making drinks that are fresh, easy to serve, and look beautiful in a glass. With sparkling water, tart citrus, and fresh herbs, this non-alcoholic mocktail brings both flavor and fizz.
Equipment
- Tall glass or mocktail tumbler
- Cocktail shaker (or a big jar with a lid)
- Measuring spoons and cups
- Small muddler or even a wooden spoon
- Fine strainer (if you want smooth juice)
- Bar spoon (or just a regular spoon)
- Citrus juicer or hand-press
- Cutting board and knife
- Ice cubes
- Serving tray (optional, but makes things look nice)
I’ve found that using a shaker and muddler really helps blend the flavors together. A citrus juicer gets every last drop from lemons and limes.
If you like your drinks looking neat for guests, a serving tray is a nice touch.
Ingredients
- 1/2 cup apple juice
- 1/4 cup fresh lemon juice
- 2 tablespoons lime juice
- 1 tablespoon simple syrup (add more if you like it sweeter)
- 2 tablespoons elderflower cordial (optional, for floral notes)
- 1 cup sparkling water or club soda
- Fresh mint leaves (about 6–8, plus more for garnish)
- Fresh basil leaves (3–4, optional)
- Rosemary sprig (for garnish)
- Pomegranate seeds (for garnish, optional)
- Ice cubes
If I want it sweeter, I’ll toss in a little more simple syrup. For a stronger herbal kick, I muddle extra basil or rosemary.
Pomegranate seeds look pretty and add a pop of color.
Instructions
- Fill your glass with ice cubes.
- Add mint leaves, basil leaves, and simple syrup to your shaker.
- Muddle gently to release those herbal oils.
- Pour in apple juice, lemon juice, lime juice, and elderflower cordial.
- Shake well with a few more ice cubes tossed in.
- Strain the mixture into your prepared glass.
- Top up with sparkling water or club soda and stir gently.
- Garnish with mint, a rosemary sprig, and a sprinkle of pomegranate seeds.
- Serve right away, while it’s still nice and bubbly.
I always muddle the herbs before adding any juice—it just helps the flavors come through. Pouring the sparkling water last keeps the fizz lively.
A gentle stir is enough, so you don’t lose those bubbles.
Notes
I usually pick sparkling water if I want a lighter fizz, or club soda for something with a bit more bite. Elderflower cordial is optional, but it adds a soft floral touch.
Fresh lemon and lime juice bring a lot of tartness, so I always squeeze them myself for the best taste.
Simple syrup is super easy to make—just mix equal parts sugar and hot water until it dissolves. Sometimes I switch things up by using just mint, or I’ll add a splash of pomegranate juice for a deeper color.
Crushed ice chills the drink faster, but regular cubes work fine too. I just use whatever herbs look freshest that day.
A rosemary sprig as garnish makes the glass look lovely and adds a subtle scent every time you take a sip.

Tasting Notes
When I take my first sip of the Evergreen Fizz Mocktail, the fresh flavor really pops. It’s got this crisp, cool vibe—kind of like biting into a green apple, honestly.
There’s also a little mint in there that sneaks up and gives it a refreshing twist. The bubbles from the soda? They make it feel lively and a bit playful on my tongue.
I notice a gentle fizziness that somehow lifts the flavors. Every sip feels light, almost like it’s inviting you to go back for more.
The drink isn’t too sweet or too sour, which I appreciate. The balance just feels right to me.
And honestly, the green color is kind of fun—it looks cheerful sitting in the glass. The smell is pretty great too.
I get these crisp, minty, and citrus scents before I even take a sip. The aftertaste is clean, and, well, it definitely makes me want another glass.
