Directions

<ol class="no-list-style"><li class="MethodStepper"><h4 class="step-title">Step 1</h4>Place the mulberries in a cocktail shaker and gently muddle until they release their vibrant juice but still maintain some texture. You want to extract the flavor without pulverizing the seeds, which can add unwanted bitterness.</li><li class="MethodStepper"><h4 class="step-title">Step 2</h4>Add the mint leaves to the muddled mulberries and press gently with the muddler – just enough to release the aromatic oils without tearing the leaves. Mint becomes bitter when over-muddled, so use a light touch here.</li><li class="MethodStepper"><h4 class="step-title">Step 3</h4>Pour in the fresh lime juice and simple syrup, then add a handful of ice to the shaker. Secure the lid and shake vigorously for 15 seconds. This properly chills the mixture while allowing the flavors to fully integrate.</li><li class="MethodStepper"><h4 class="step-title">Step 4</h4>Fill two highball glasses with crushed ice – this type of ice creates a beautiful frosted appearance on the glass and chills the drink more effectively than regular cubes.</li><li class="MethodStepper"><h4 class="step-title">Step 5</h4>Double-strain the mixture into your prepared glasses, dividing equally. The double-straining (through both the cocktail strainer and fine-mesh strainer) ensures no mulberry seeds or mint fragments make it into the final drink, creating a smoother sipping experience.</li><li class="MethodStepper"><h4 class="step-title">Step 6</h4>Top each glass with soda water, pouring slowly down the side of the glass to preserve carbonation. The soda should create a beautiful gradient effect as it mixes with the mulberry base.</li><li class="MethodStepper"><h4 class="step-title">Step 7</h4>Garnish with a few fresh mulberries, a sprig of mint, and a thin lime wheel. The garnish isn't just decorative – each element enhances the aromatic experience as you sip the mocktail.</li></ol>

FAQs

What ingredients are used in Mulberry Fizz Mocktail Recipe?

This vibrant purple mocktail requires fresh (or frozen) mulberries, fresh lime juice, simple syrup, mint leaves, soda water, and crushed ice. It's garnished with additional fresh mulberries, mint sprigs, and a lime wheel for visual appeal.

How to make Mulberry Fizz Mocktail Recipe at home?

Learn how to make Mulberry Fizz Mocktail at home by gently muddling fresh mulberries with mint, adding lime juice and simple syrup, shaking with ice, then double-straining into glasses filled with crushed ice. Top with soda water for fizz and garnish with mulberries, mint, and lime for a stunning purple summer refresher.

Can I substitute frozen mulberries if fresh ones aren't available?

Absolutely! Frozen mulberries work brilliantly in this mocktail. Allow them to thaw slightly before muddling to release their vibrant colour and juices more easily. The freeze-thaw process actually helps break down cell walls, potentially creating an even more intensely-coloured drink.

What's the best technique for muddling mint without making the mocktail bitter?

Press mint leaves gently with your muddler to release aromatic oils without tearing the leaves. Avoid twisting or shredding the mint as this releases chlorophyll and bitter compounds. A light touch is key—you want to bruise the leaves, not pulverise them.

Why should I double-strain this berry mocktail?

Double-straining (through both a cocktail strainer and fine-mesh strainer) removes all mulberry seeds and mint fragments, creating a smoother sipping experience. This technique gives your mocktail a more refined, professional finish while preserving the beautiful purple hue.
