Ingredients
Here’s everything you’ll need to make this refreshing blueberry basil mocktail:
- ½ cup fresh blueberries
- 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice

- 2 tablespoons honey or simple syrup
- ½ cup hot water (for lavender infusion)
- Sparkling water (to top)
- Ice cubes

Instructions

In a small bowl, combine dried lavender with hot water. Let steep for 5 minutes, then strain to remove buds. Set aside to cool.
2. Muddle the Blueberries & Basil
In a cocktail shaker or sturdy glass, add blueberries and basil leaves. Gently muddle until berries release juice and basil becomes fragrant.

Pour in fresh lemon juice and honey (or simple syrup). Stir well to combine.
4. Mix in Lavender
Add 1–2 teaspoons of the cooled lavender infusion (adjust to taste — a little goes a long way).
5. Shake or Stir
Add ice and shake gently (or stir well) until chilled.
6. Assemble the Mocktail
Fill a serving glass with fresh ice. Strain the mixture into the glass.
7. Top with Sparkling Water
Pour sparkling water over the mixture to fill the glass. Stir gently.
8. Garnish & Serve
