Equipment

First, you’ll need a cocktail shaker. This helps blend the ingredients smoothly. If you don’t have one, you can use a jar with a tight lid.
Next, make sure you’ve got a measuring cup or spoons. Precision helps ensure the perfect taste.
A stirring spoon is also handy for gently mixing.

A strainer comes in handy to filter out any pulp or seeds from fresh juices.
Lastly, a serving glass—I like using a tall glass to show off the layers and colors of this drink.
Don’t forget to have some ice ready to chill your mocktail and keep it refreshing. ❄️

Ingredients

The ingredients for the Black Cat Mocktail add layers of flavors and colors really well. Here’s what you need:

1 cup of blackcurrant juice
1/2 cup of apple juice
1/4 cup of pomegranate juice
Ice cubes
For a touch of sweetness add:
1 tablespoon of sugar syrup
For an exciting garnish you’ll use:
A slice of lime
Fresh mint leaves

Each ingredient combines to create a refreshing drink that’s colorful and bursting with flavor. 🥤

Instructions

Making the Black Cat Mocktail is super easy!

Start by filling the shaker with ice.

Then add the blackcurrant juice and sugar syrup. Shake them well together for about 10 seconds.
Next, you’ll pour the apple juice and pomegranate juice into a glass over ice cubes. Stir to mix these juices evenly but gently, as we want to keep the drink cool and refreshing.
Finally, strain the blackcurrant mixture into the glass.

Garnish with a slice of lime and fresh mint leaves.

Now, your vibrant Black Cat Mocktail is ready to serve! 🎉

Notes

Experiment with the flavors by adjusting the juice quantities. If you prefer a sweeter taste, increase the sugar syrup. On the other hand, reducing it gives a more tart sensation.

Try adding a splash of soda if you like some fizz. It gives an exciting twist to the mocktail. Remember that presentation matters—feel free to use colorful straws or add more fruit slices for a visually appealing drink.
