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 underappreciated 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:

• Pizza with Apples, Candied Bacon, Broccolini, + Kale
• Herb Roasted Tomatoes
• Vegan Southern Peach Cobbler
