Ingredients
Units
Scale
- .5 ounce (1 tablespoon) blue curacao non-alcoholic syrup
- 1 ounce sugar-free, lower sugar or no added sugar grape juice
- 6 ounces Sparkling Ice*, Grape Raspberry or Black Cherry flavor
- Turbinado sugar, for glass rim
- Blackberries and blueberries (fresh or frozen), for garnish
Instructions
- Use a rimming dish, two small bowls or plates to rim the glasses. I used water, but you can use lemon juice, if you prefer. Pour the turbinado sugar into your dish of choice. Add a small layer of water or lemon juice to the second dish. Dip the rim of each glass into the liquid and gently tap or shake off the excess liquid. Immediately dip the rim of the glasses into the sugar, ensure the sugar coats the rim and gently tap or shake off the extra sugar. Add ice to each glass.
- In a cocktail shaker, add the blue curacao and juice or vodka, based on whether you’re making a mocktail or a cocktail, and shake, shake, shake.
- Top off the glass with Sparkling ICE. Garnish and serve.
Notes
- The purple color in this mocktail can be tricky to achieve, so make a test round in advance to ensure you get the color the way you want it.
- I muddled blackberry for a play on the more traditional whiskey Rambler cocktail. Delicious, but the drink turned out very dark in color. Instead, I used fresh blackberries and frozen blueberries for garnish.
