Ingredients Breakdown

Every great mocktail starts with the right mix of ingredients, and this one is no different. Each component plays a key role, coming together beautifully. Let’s break it down and see how these ingredients work their magic.

Blueberry Hibiscus Herbal Tea

Blueberry Wild Child tea is the heart of this mocktail, and for good reason. It delivers a fruity, slightly sweet, slightly tangy foundation that sets the stage for every sip.

But wait, it gets better. Blueberry Wild Child isn’t just tasty—it’s also packed with potential health benefits. Rich in antioxidants, it supports your immune system and helps to combat free radicals. Plus, it’s naturally caffeine-free, making it a great option for relaxing evenings or a kid-friendly drink. So, not only does it taste good, but it also gives you that little extra wellness boost. We love the foundation for a functional mocktail!

Lemon Lime Soda

Here’s where things get exciting. Lemon-lime soda brings the fizz and that unmistakable zesty burst. Its bubbly texture pairs beautifully with the smoothness of the tea, creating a refreshing contrast in every sip.

Now, if you’re watching your sugar intake, don’t worry—there are plenty of sugar-free or low-sugar options that hold their own on flavor. In fact, we opted for an Olipop when making this recipe! Using a prebiotic soda, such as Olipop, can give you a boost in prebiotic fiber and support your gut. With this simple swap, you can enjoy a gut-health mocktail.

Mint

A sprig of mint is added for its cool, crisp aroma that ties everything together.

Mint is also here to enhance the health benefits of this delicious mocktail! This leafy green may help with digestive health, reducing allergy symptoms, and soothing the common cold.

Lemon

A lemon garnish isn't just a pretty extra—it's also a fun splash of flavor! A small squeeze of fresh lemon juice is just the thing to bring the "wow" to this mocktail. 

Lemons are high in vitamin C, fiber, and various beneficial plant compounds. These nutrients are responsible for several health benefits, and may also support heart health, weight control, and digestive health. This delightful citrus is here to add a little boost to the flavor and your health!

How To Make the Berry Spritzer

Ready to whip up a refreshing drink? This step-by-step guide will show you how to make the perfect Berry Spritzer.

Step 1: Brew The Blueberry Tea

The base of your mocktail starts here, and nailing this step makes all the difference.

  1. Boil water and pour it into a heat-safe mug or teapot.
  2. Add your Blueberry Wild Child loose leaf tea. Steep for 5-7 minutes for a strong flavor.
  3. Strain out the loose tea leaves.
  4. Let the tea cool to room temperature. If you’re short on time, you can pour the tea over a generous amount of ice. Just don’t skimp—lukewarm mocktails lose the magic.

The result? A flavor packed, fruity tea for your mixology needs.

Step 2: Add The Fizz

Time to bring on the bubbles! The fizz from the lemon-lime soda is key to balancing the drink’s fruity and tangy notes.

  1. Grab a tall glass filled halfway with ice.
  2. Pour chilled Blueberry Wild Child tea into the glass until it’s about 1/3 full.
  3. Slowly fill the rest of your cup with lemon-lime soda. (Pour gently to avoid fizz overflow!)

The 1:2 tea-to-soda ratio is a good starting point, but feel free to adjust! Want it sweeter? Add more soda. Prefer a bolder tea flavor? Use less soda.

Step 3: Finish with Style

A great drink deserves a little extra flair, and this mocktail is all about the details. Garnishing doesn’t just make it look fancy—it enhances the flavors, too.

  1. Add a few mint leaves and lightly smush them against the glass to release extra flavor.
  2. Squeeze a lemon slice into the glass for extra citrusy enhancement. 
  3. Garnish with a mint sprig and a lemon slice to showcase your tasty mocktail in the best light.

Serve your mocktail in a mason jar, a tall glass, or even a fancy cocktail glass. Don’t forget the final touch—a colorful straw or a cute cocktail pick with a few extra blueberries. It’s all about the vibe you want to create!

Now, sip away and enjoy your bubbly, fruity masterpiece.

So, what are you waiting for? Grab your Blueberry Wild Child tea, soda, and garnishes, and create your own. Snap a pic, share it with friends, and savor the moment—this drink deserves a little celebration!
