    • Blueberry Grapefruit Mocktail Recipe

    Blueberries are naturally sweet and pair so well with any kind of citrus. How sweet your drink is will vary based on the citrus you choose. Shaking up blueberry syrup with fresh squeezed grapefruit juice creates a drink that’s not too sweet and not too sour. 

    Did you know that Michigan is the third largest producer of blueberries in the country? Most of our blueberries are grown in southwest Michigan where the plants like the naturally sandy soil. 

    Using fresh herbs in mocktails is a great way to add a depth of flavor, especially when you move away from traditional mint. Rosemary and thyme are two of my favorite herbs to use in drinks because they have their own unique flavors and pair well with a variety of fruits, yet are familiar enough to our taste buds that people are comfortable trying them in a drink. 

    While not always interchangeable, fresh thyme is a great alternative in this mocktail if you don’t like rosemary or don’t have any on hand. 

    What's in a Blueberry Mocktail

    Ingredients for grapefruit mocktails.
    • Blueberry syrup - If you don't want to make your own, there are several brands of blueberry syrup that you can find at specialty grocery stores. But the best tasting blueberry syrup is the one you make yourself! My 3 ingredient blueberry simple syrup recipe is easy to make and keeps for 2-3 weeks in the refrigerator.
    • Fresh grapefruit - Choose a fresh, red grapefruit and squeeze the juice yourself. It’s quick to do and worth the effort. 
    • Club soda or sparkling water - Choose your favorite! Plain or grapefruit flavored sparkling water is a delicious substitute for club soda if you don’t have any on hand, or are watching your sodium intake.  
    • Fresh rosemary - If you don’t have/can’t find fresh rosemary, swap it out for fresh thyme or fresh mint. Whichever you choose, make sure it’s a fresh herb. Don’t use dried herbs in this drink. 

    How to Make a Blueberry Grapefruit Mocktail

    Fill a glass with ice. Set aside.

    What is Muddling? 

    Muddling is when you use a muddler tool or wooden spoon to press down on ingredients - usually herbs or citrus - to break them up and release their natural oils and juices. This puts more flavor into your drink and allows that flavor to be distributed better because it’s getting shaken or stirred into the drink. 

    Making Blueberry Syrup

    With just 3 ingredients, homemade Blueberry Simple Syrup is easy to make at home and tastes better than any store bought syrup.
