Simply Organic — the “one stop shop” for spices, seasonings and herbs — has helmed an interesting mocktail: the Blueberry Ginger Cooler Mocktail. This sweet and aromatic mocktail mixes the sweetness of fresh blueberries with the refreshing bite of ginger, making for the perfect cocktail pairing that’ll quench your thirst with complexities of a well-balanced cocktail, without the booze.
Ingredients:
– 1 teaspoon Simply Organic Ginger Root Ground 1.64 oz.
– 1 cup water
– ¾ cup sugar
– 1 cup blueberries
– ½ cup freshly squeeze lime juice
– 1 cup seltzer
Method:
– In a small sauce pot over medium-high heat, make a simple syrup by combining water, ¾ cup sugar and ginger.
– Bring to a boil, stirring until sugar is dissolved.
– Remove from heat and let cool.
– In a food processor, add blueberries and lime juice.
– Puree until smooth, then press mixture through a fine mesh sieve to discard solids.
– In a bowl with a pour spout, add cooled simple syrup and blueberry mixture and stir to combine.
– Fill 2 glasses with ice.
