Serving Size

Equipment

Measuring cups and spoons

Ice cube tray

Ingredients

1 cup fresh blackberries
1 cup granulated sugar

1 cup water
1 tablespoon dried culinary lavender buds
1/2 cup fresh lime juice about 4–5 limes

3 cups cold water
Ice cubes
Extra blackberries and lime slices for garnish

Instructions

Combine blackberries, sugar, water, and lavender in a saucepan. Heat on medium and stir until sugar dissolves.
Simmer gently for about 5 minutes, mashing the berries to release juice.
Turn off heat and let the mixture steep for another 10 minutes.

Pour through a fine mesh strainer into a bowl or pitcher. Press to extract as much liquid as possible, then discard solids.
Add lime juice and cold water to the strained syrup. Stir until mixed.
Fill glasses with ice. Pour mocktail over ice and garnish with berries and lime slices.

Serve chilled.

Notes

If I can’t find dried lavender, I leave it out or use a lavender syrup instead. I usually adjust the sugar and lime juice to my own taste—less sugar if I want it tarter, or more lime for extra zing.

I sometimes make the blackberry-lavender syrup ahead and keep it in the fridge for a few days. For parties, I double the recipe.

For a bubbly version, I swap some cold water with club soda right before serving. Always use food-grade lavender since not all types are meant to be eaten.

Tasting Notes

When I first take a sip, I notice the bright, tart flavor of fresh lime juice. It wakes up my taste buds right away.

The bite from the lime is clear, but not overpowering. Next, I taste the blackberries.

They add a sweet and fruity note. The berries give the drink a pretty purple color and a hint of earthiness.

The lavender syrup is subtle. It adds a gentle floral aroma, making the drink feel special.

The lavender does not overwhelm the fruit—it blends in softly.

On a hot day, I find the mocktail cool and thirst-quenching. The lime and blackberry balance sweetness and acidity.

I enjoy the light, calming feel from the lavender. It tastes best when served over lots of ice.

Each ingredient has its place, and none is too strong. The blend is crisp and refreshing, with a floral finish.

Substitute

Sometimes I need to switch ingredients because of allergies, preference, or just whatever’s left in my kitchen. Here are a few substitutions I lean on for this mocktail recipe:

Ingredients:

Blackberries: I’ll use raspberries, strawberries, or even blueberries if blackberries are out of stock or just too expensive.
Lime juice: Lemon juice steps in when limes run out. The taste shifts a bit, but it’s still good.
Lavender syrup: Sometimes I swap in honey syrup and throw in a pinch of dried lavender. Other days, I just grab simple syrup if lavender feels like too much work to find.

Sparkling water: Club soda, tonic, or lemon-lime soda all work here. Lemon-lime soda makes it sweeter, which I don’t always mind.

Instructions:

If I’m using frozen berries, I let them thaw first. No one wants an icy chunk in their drink.

When swapping lime for lemon, I add it slowly and taste as I go. Lemon can take over if I’m not careful.
For homemade lavender syrup, I boil 1 cup water, 1 cup sugar, and 2 tablespoons dried lavender together. I let it steep, then strain out the lavender bits.

Equipment:

No muddler? I just grab a wooden spoon and mash the berries with that. Works fine for me.
