For the blackberry mint syrup (makes up to 10 drinks)
- 2 cups blackberries
- 3 cups water
- 1/2 cup honey
- 5 mint leaves
For the mocktail (for one person)
- 1/2 cup blackberry mint simple syrup
- 1/2 cup club soda
- 1/4 whole lime, squeezed
For the syrup:
Rinse blackberries, measure, and place in a saucepan with water, honey, and mint leaves.
Bring to a boil, then simmer for 15 minutes.
Place the colander/strainer over the bowl in the sink. (It makes it easier if you use a bowl with a lip on it to easily pour in the mason jar to store)
Then, strain the syrup over the colander/strainer.
Add the syrup to a mason jar and store in the fridge. Be sure the syrup is cold prior to using.
For the mocktail:
Mix the club soda, lime, and blackberry syrup in a cocktail mixing glass or a big cup.
Pour the drink over ice in a fun glass! Garnish with extra mint leaves.
