Each sip of this Blueberry Smash Mocktail features fresh and sweet blueberries and a touch of sweetness swirled in sharp and refreshing bubbly water.
Sometimes we just want something fun, fizzy, and refreshing to drink. Sure, we could reach for our favorite flavor of kombucha, crack open a can of bubbly water, and call it a day. Or we can add a little something sweet and a little something fresh and pour it into our favorite cocktail glass. It’s a simple ritual, but it creates something so delicious!
As someone who doesn’t drink alcohol, I often find myself reaching for a non-alcoholic substitute. This fun and fruity mocktail is exactly the kind of refreshing beverage I love sipping on while lounging on my deck in the sunshine or socializing with friends on the weekend. If you’re looking for a non-alcoholic option, this one is a great place to start!
My favorite part about a good mocktail is that it’s equal parts refreshing, delicious, and hydrating. Unlike their alcoholic counterparts that leave you with gut rot and a pounding headache the next day. If you choose to alcohol, this is in no way a criticism of that choice – do you! I just love a good mocktail. They are great in place of the booze on weeknights, between drinks, or those times when you want to cut back a little bit.
