Ingredients
Ingredients:
- 1 cup grape juice (preferably 100% juice for natural sweetness)
- 1/2 cup lemonade
- 1/4 cup cranberry juice (for a touch of tartness)
- 1/4 cup blueberry syrup (for sweetness and a deeper purple color)
- 1/2 cup sparkling water or lemon-lime soda (for a fizzy touch)
- Ice cubes
- Optional: 1-2 drops of purple food coloring (for a more intense purple shade)
- Garnishes:
- Fresh blueberries
- Lemon slices
- Purple rock candy
- Fun-themed straws or drink stirrers
Instructions
Preparation:
Step 1:
In a large pitcher, combine the grape juice, lemonade, and cranberry juice. Stir well to ensure the flavors are thoroughly mixed.
Step 2:
Add the blueberry syrup to the mixture, stirring until well combined. This will give the drink a sweet flavor and enhance the purple color.
Step 3:
For a more vivid purple color, add 1-2 drops of purple food coloring and mix until the color is evenly distributed. This step is optional, as the natural juices may already provide a beautiful purple shade.
Step 4:
Fill a glass or mason jar with ice cubes. Pour the mocktail mixture over the ice, filling the glass about three-quarters full.
Step 5:
Top off the drink with sparkling water or lemon-lime soda for a fizzy touch. Stir gently to combine without losing the bubbles.
Step 6:
Garnish with fresh blueberries, a lemon slice, and a piece of purple rock candy for a whimsical touch. Serve with a fun straw or drink stirrer.
Notes
- Make sure to use 100% fruit juice to avoid adding extra sugars.
- If preparing for a party, you can mix the juices ahead of time and add the soda just before serving to keep the fizz.
