Equipment Needed to Make

Muddler
Something to measure
Jug or mug for brewing the tea
Glassware

Ingredients

Blueberries - fresh or thawed frozen both work, but thawed really pop in color and are often juicier!

Real maple syrup - or sweetener of your choice.

Lemon juice - fresh is always best if possible, but bottled works if that's all you have.

Coconut water - sub with flavored kombucha for a probiotic hit.

How to Make your Purple Mocktail

Muddle the berries, maple syrup and lemon juice in a tall glass
Add ice over the muddled ingredients, and top with coconut water (and pineapple juice if using)

Side-by-side images show a hand muddling blueberries in a wavy glass (left) and pouring a clear liquid over ice and muddled berries in the same glass (right), with purple flowers and dried citrus in the background.

Slowly pour in the chilled butterfly pea tea
Stir, garnish, and serve

Tips & Tricks

Thawed blueberries tend to be a lot juicier and more vibrant in color. I used thawed for the images and video you see in this post.
To prepare ahead, complete step 1 of the recipe and leave the glasses with the muddled blueberries in the fridge until you’re ready. It’s much easier than muddling when guests arrive!
Coconut water can be used for the mixer if you’d like a still mocktail, but for something bubbly try some sparkling coconut water or a kombucha for a probiotic hit.
