Refreshing Blackberry Lime Mocktail

Sip this refreshing Blackberry Lime Mocktail sweetened with agave and garnished with fresh fruit for a summery and bright drink.

Blackberries are an under-appreciated fruit, if you ask me. Strawberries and blueberries seem to get a lot of attention, but blackberries are every bit as delicious, versatile good for you. I love using them for baking recipes like my Vegan Chocolate Pancakes with Blackberries.

But they work just as well in a refreshing mocktail with bright lime juice! You'll love this hydrating summery beverage.

Ingredients for Blackberry Lime Mocktails

This recipe takes 5 minutes to make. All you need is:

Fresh blackberries. Use organic and/or local berries if possible!
Fresh lime. You can also use lemon juice if you prefer.
Agave. Feel free to use more or less sweetener to suit your taste.

For serving, use plenty of ice and your favorite garnishes. I like fresh herbs, a lime wedge, and more berries.

Big-Batch Mocktails

You can prepare a big pitcher of blackberry lime mocktails for a crowd. Just increase the ingredients proportionally. Wait to add the ice until you're ready to serve so the flavor isn't diluted.

Health Benefits of Blackberries

Aside from being a healthy way to hydrate, this blackberry mocktail also packs some important health benefits. Blackberries, and berries in general, are considered superfoods because they are:

High in powerful antioxidants called polyphenols
Rich in dietary fiber, which supports healthy digestion
Full of vitamin C, for a healthy immune system and glowing skin

What to Serve with This Mocktail

You can easily pair this blackberry drink with a meal if you're planning a dinner party. Here's some menu inspiration that pairs well with this mocktail:
