A wonderfully refreshing mocktail with juicy blackberries and lemon balm is a great thirst quencher. I developed the recipe for Bio Suisse and sourced the five ingredients from local farms and organic stores. Fortunately, lemon balm thrives in our garden.

The drinks can be served in two variations: with lemonade and ice, or with non-alcoholic prosecco—whichever you prefer. If you’d like it a touch sweeter, add half a teaspoon of apple syrup.

Booze free is amazingly refreshing

No alcohol, just pure joy, perfect for lazy lakeside afternoons. Colors pop in transparent glasses, echoing beach towels and sunlit towels on warm sand. Sips become tiny celebrations, as ice clinks softly and laughter mingles with sea air. Mocktails invite everyone to unwind, savor flavors, and embrace a carefree summer mood.

This blackberry lemon balm mocktail blends sweetness with tartness, creating bright, uplifting moments.
As the sun dips, this drink glows, turning ordinary evenings into seaside memories.

Health benefits of blackberries

Blackberries burst with antioxidants, supporting immune health and heart wellness during hot summer days.
Locally grown berries taste sweeter and fresher, reducing carbon footprints and supporting nearby farms.

Locally grown berries are so good

Choose locally grown berries at farmers’ markets for peak flavor and seasonal freshness. Store berries in the fridge, wash just before eating, and enjoy within a few days for best nutrients. Eating seasonally supports biodiversity and a resilient food system while you savor summer goodness.
