Alpha Gal Friendly Blueberry Mint Mocktail
Bright, fruity, and genuinely refreshing, this blueberry mint mocktail is the kind of drink that makes any occasion feel a little more special ā no bar cart required. Fresh blueberries get muddled with mint leaves until deeply fragrant, then shaken with lime juice and maple syrup for a naturally sweetened base that's as vibrant in flavor as it is in color. Every single ingredient here is plant-based and straightforward, which means there's zero guesswork about hidden animal-derived additives that can sneak into flavored syrups or pre-made mixers. The fine-mesh straining step gives you a silky, jewel-toned liquid that looks stunning in a tall glass over ice. A splash of chilled sparkling water at the end adds just the right amount of effervescence without overwhelming the berry-citrus balance. Garnished with a fresh mint sprig and a lime wheel, this is the kind of drink you'll want to make on repeat all summer long.
