Blackberry Paloma Mocktail
Blackberry Paloma Mocktail is a refreshing and vibrant twist on the classic Paloma cocktail. This alcohol-free version bursts with the sweet and tart flavors of fresh blackberries, zesty lime juice, and effervescent grapefruit soda.
Ingredients
- 3 blackberries
- 5 dashes Hella Bitters Smoked Chili Bitters
- 1/2- ounce freshly squeezed lime juice
- 4-6 ounces chilled grapefruit soda (Q Mixers)
- 1- ounce Butterfly pea tea cooled to room temp (optional, for color)
Instructions
- Start by grabbing a sturdy rock glass and muddling three fresh blackberries at the bottom. Add five dashes of Hella Bitters Smoked Chili Bitters and a fresh squeeze of lime juice.
- Create a layer of crushed ice on the muddled berries and bitters. This clever trick will prevent those pesky berry seeds from floating throughout your drink.
- Fill the glass with ice and pour 4-6 ounces of chilled grapefruit soda. Q Mixers makes an excellent choice, but feel free to use your favorite brand.
- For an extra pop of color, consider adding 1 ounce of cooled butterfly pea tea. This step is optional but will give your mocktail a stunning visual appeal.
- Garnish your cocktail with a wedge of lime and a few fresh blackberries. Sit back, relax, and enjoy this refreshing, alcohol-free beverage's perfect balance of smoky, sweet, and tart flavors.
