Ingredients To Make Blackberry Pine Mocktail
Here’s what you’ll need
Lyre’s NA Cane Spirit: optional. Rum without the alcohol. It’s a alcohol substitute similar taste without the booze.
Blackberry thyme syrup: see below on how to make it. Feel free to use fresh blackberries. I prefer to make a syrup that way I don’t have to worry about seeds.
Pineapple juice: You can used homemade or canned pineapple juice.
Lime juice: If it’s not fresh, I don’t want it.
Mint: adds freshness to the mocktail and makes the perfect garnish.
Sparkling water: I used San Pellegrino sparkling water. Feel free to use any sparkling water you prefer.
How To Make Blackberry Thyme Syrup
Making simple syrup for cocktails and mocktails is quite easy. Here’s how to do it:
- In a saucepan, combine equal parts sugar and water.
- Add fresh or frozen blackberries and 2 sprigs of thyme.
- Simmer the mixture over medium-high heat, stirring until the sugar dissolves completely, which usually takes about 8-10 minutes.
- After about 6 minutes, gently mash the blackberries to release their juices.
- Allow the mixture to simmer for the remaining 4 minutes.
- Turn off the heat and let the syrup sit for a bit to infuse.
- Finally, strain the syrup into a clean mason jar.
- Store the syrup in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks.
