Ingredients

I love making mocktails with butterfly pea tea! It is gorgeous, color-changing, and tastes amazing, too.

  • Blackberries: The plumper and juicier the better! And yes, you can use frozen, too. 
  • Berry or Ginger Kombucha (or sparkling water/juice of choice): This not only adds bubbles, but a nourishing probiotic kick. 
  • Lemon Juice: Fresh is always best if you can!
  • Chilled Butterfly Pea Tea: This can be purchased online, or you might have luck at your local tea shop.
  • Optional: Maple Syrup, Agave, or Sweetener

Tip: Make some extra Butterfly Pea Tea so you can make my Citrus Magic Mocktail next time!

To Make Your Blackberry Halloween Mocktail

  1. Muddle: In a sturdy glass, gently muddle blackberries with your sweetener (if using). Be cautious when using a delicate wine glass.
  2. Add ice: Fill the glass to the brim with ice and add your kombucha or sparkling beverage of choice.

Tips And Tricks For Perfect Layered Mocktails

Layering a drink can seem complicated, but once you get a little practice, it'll be second nature. Here are some tips to make sure you have success right away.

  • Chill all your liquids thoroughly before making the mocktail for the best color separation.
  • Pour slowly over the back of a spoon to achieve pretty, clean layers.
  • Serve your Halloween Mocktail in a tall, clear glass so the magical color shifts are visible.
  • This particular recipe relies on ice to keep the layers separate. Small, pebble ice works best, but if you don't have this, pop some ice in a zip lock bag and give it a whack with a mallet - it's particularly satisfying after a long day!

Prep Time: 3 minutes
Servings: 1

Equipment

Ingredients

  • 5 blackberries (plus more for garnish)
  • ½ cup berry or ginger kombucha (or your sparking beverage of choice - see Note 1)
  • 1 oz lemon juice
  • 3 oz chilled butterfly pea tea (see Note 2, and watch the video below to see the magic take place!)
  • A splash of maple syrup or your sweetener of choice (optional)

Video

Instructions

  • Muddle the blackberries in your glass with your optional sweetener of choice (be very careful doing this in a wine glass, be gentle!)
  • Add ice to the brim, then your kombucha (or sparkling beverage of choice).
  • Slowly pour in half of the butterfly pea tea to create magic (handy video below!), then the lemon juice.
  • Give it a little stir, then top with the remaining butterfly pea tea to create a layered effect.
  • Garnish with blackberries if you wish.

Batch Instructions

Use the Servings toggle above to select how many drinks you'd like to make. The ingredient amounts will update automatically.  To make the mocktail, muddle your blackberries in a pitcher with your sweetener. To create the layered effect, fill your pitcher to the brim with ice. Small pebble ice works best to hold the layers, but if you don't have this, crush some ice with a mallet. Add your kombucha or mixer of choice, then slowly pour in half the butterfly pea tea, then the lemon juice. Give it a little stir, then top with the remaining butterfly pea tea. Garnish if you wish!
(Note: if you have a very large pitcher or punch bowl, you might choose to skip adding that much ice. You won't get the layered effect but you'll still get a delicious punch!)

Notes

Note 1:  I love using kombucha for this recipe, but feel free to use your sparkling beverage of choice. Lemonade is perfect if you love your drinks sweet, or a lemon mineral water would also be delicious.
Note 2: butterfly pea tea can be found online (Amazon is great!), or your local tea store. The tea is blue when made, but turns purple when it comes into anything acidic, like lemon or lime juice. Watch the video to see it in action.
