Total Time: 10 minutes
Servings: 4
Skill Level: Easy
- For the Main Drink:
- 1 cup fresh blackberries
- 2 tablespoons elderflower syrup
- 2 cups sparkling water, chilled
- 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
- 2 tablespoons honey (or agave syrup for a vegan option)
- Ice cubes
- For Garnish:
- Fresh mint leaves
- Lemon slices
- A few extra blackberries
- In a blender, combine fresh blackberries, elderflower syrup, lemon juice, and honey. Blend until the mixture is smooth and vibrant, allowing the tangy aroma of freshly blended blackberries to fill your kitchen.
- Strain the mixture through a fine-mesh sieve into a pitcher to remove the seeds. This will leave you with a beautifully smooth blackberry-elderflower base.
- Fill four glasses with ice cubes. Evenly distribute the blackberry-elderflower mixture into each glass, filling them about halfway.
- Top up each glass with chilled sparkling water, stirring gently to combine. Watch as the effervescent bubbles mingle with the deep purple hue.
- Garnish each drink with fresh mint leaves, a slice of lemon, and a couple of blackberries for a touch of elegance.
- Serve immediately and enjoy the refreshing, floral, and slightly tangy flavor of your homemade Blackberry Elderflower Fizz.
Helpful Tips and Variations:
- For a sweeter option, add an extra tablespoon of honey or agave syrup.
- Enhance the drink’s presentation by serving it in chilled glasses for extra refreshment.
- This drink is perfect for a summer party or a cozy family night. Adjust the sweetness by reducing the honey for a more adult-friendly flavor profile.
Storage and Substitutions:
- Refrigerate the blackberry-elderflower base in an airtight container for up to 2 days. Just add sparkling water when ready to serve.
- If elderflower syrup is unavailable, you can substitute with a light floral syrup, such as honeysuckle or lavender.
Pairings and Complements:
- Enjoy this drink alongside light snacks like cucumber sandwiches or cheese platters.
