Blueberry Lychee Fizz Mocktail Recipe

Blueberries: These small, sweet, and tangy berries add a burst of flavor and color to the mocktail.

Lychee juice: A sweet and fragrant juice that pairs perfectly with the tartness of blueberries.

Sparkling water: Adds a fizzy element to the drink, making it refreshing and light.

Lime juice: Provides a zesty kick that balances the sweetness of the other ingredients.

Honey: A natural sweetener that enhances the flavors without overpowering them.

Ice cubes: Keeps the drink chilled and refreshing.

When blending the blueberries, lychee juice, lime juice, and honey, make sure to blend until the mixture is completely smooth to ensure a consistent texture. Straining the mixture is crucial to remove any remaining blueberry skins or seeds, which can affect the mouthfeel of the mocktail.

• To store your blueberry lychee fizz mocktail, pour the blended mixture (before adding sparkling water) into an airtight container. Refrigerate for up to 2 days to maintain freshness and flavor.
