Blueberry Lavender Spritz Mocktail

Lately, I have been reaching for drinks that feel calm and thoughtful, and this Blueberry Lavender Spritz Mocktail fits that mood perfectly. The first time I made it was during a quiet evening when I wanted something special but did not want alcohol. The mix of blueberries and lavender felt soothing, and the bubbles made it feel like a treat instead of just another drink.

Blueberries bring natural sweetness, lavender adds a soft floral note, and elderflower ties everything together in a gentle way. It also works beautifully for gatherings where you want an option that feels just as thoughtful as the cocktails on the table. From brunches to baby showers to relaxed evenings at home, this drink fits right in and looks just as good as it tastes.

Ingredients

The ingredient list may look simple, but each item plays a clear role in the final drink. Together, they create a mocktail that feels thoughtful and well balanced instead of flat.

You’ll need:

• 1 oz non-alcoholic elderflower liqueur cordial
• ¾ oz lavender syrup
• Handful of fresh blueberries
• Non-alcoholic prosecco to top
• Lavender sprig or lemon twist for garnish, optional

Fresh blueberries are best here since they release juice easily when muddled. Lavender syrup should be used carefully so it supports the drink without overpowering it. Non alcoholic prosecco adds bubbles and structure, helping the drink feel complete.

Suggested Liquor Brands and Substitutions

Even without alcohol, the brands and alternatives you choose can affect the final flavor. A good non alcoholic cordial adds depth and helps the drink feel intentional.

Here are some solid options and swaps:

• Non Alcoholic Elderflower Cordial: Lyre’s, Belvoir, or St Germain style cordials without alcohol work well.
• Lavender Syrup: Store bought is easy, but homemade allows you to control sweetness.
• Blueberries: Frozen berries can work if thawed first.
• Non Alcoholic Prosecco: Look for dry styles to keep the drink balanced.
• Sparkling Water Substitute: If prosecco is unavailable, plain sparkling water works with a lighter finish.

These choices help you adjust the drink based on what is available without losing its character.

Equipment and Glassware

You do not need advanced tools for this mocktail, which makes it approachable for any home setup. A few basics are all it takes to get great results.

Helpful items include:

• Jigger
• Muddler
• Wine Glass

A wine glass works especially well because it gives room for ice, bubbles, and garnish. If serving guests, having extra glasses ready keeps things moving smoothly.

How to Make It

This mocktail is all about gentle handling so the flavors stay clean. Take your time with the berries and pour slowly when adding bubbles.

1. In the bottom of a wine glass, add blueberries and lavender syrup. Gently muddle until the berries release their juice.
2. Pour in the non alcoholic elderflower cordial and give it a light stir to combine.
3. Fill the glass with ice to chill the mixture evenly.
4. Slowly top with non alcoholic prosecco, allowing the bubbles to rise naturally.
5. Garnish with a lavender sprig or lemon twist if desired.

After pouring, give the drink a gentle stir if needed. Small adjustments to syrup or bubbles can tailor it to your taste.

Pro Tips

These tips help keep the drink balanced and consistent, especially if you are serving more than one glass. Small details make a noticeable difference.

• Do not over muddle the berries or the drink may turn cloudy.
• Use light pressure when working with lavender syrup.
• Chill all ingredients ahead of time for best results.
• Pour prosecco slowly to preserve bubbles.
• Taste before serving and adjust sweetness as needed.
• Use fresh garnish for better aroma.

Once you get comfortable, try adjusting ratios slightly. That is how you make the recipe your own.

Variations

This mocktail is easy to adapt, which makes it fun to serve more than once. A few small changes can shift the flavor without changing the overall feel.

Here are some ideas to try:

• Lemon Blueberry Spritz: Add a splash of fresh lemon juice.
• Rosemary Blueberry Mocktail: Swap lavender for rosemary syrup.
• Berry Blend Version: Add raspberries or blackberries with blueberries.
• Low Sugar Option: Use less syrup and more sparkling water.

These variations keep blueberry mocktails interesting and help match different preferences.

Great times to serve it include:

For food pairings, try it with light pastries, fresh fruit boards, soft cheeses, or simple salads. The gentle flavors complement delicate dishes without overpowering them.

Storage and Serving Notes

This mocktail is best made fresh, but parts of it can be prepared ahead of time. Muddling berries and syrup in advance saves time during events.
