Ingredients

Serves 2

Blackberry Rosemary Syrup

• ½ cup fresh blackberries
• 2 tbsp honey
• 2 tbsp water
• 1 fresh rosemary sprig

Mocktails

• 4 oz blackberry rosemary syrup
• 2 tbsp fresh lime juice
• 12 oz ginger beer
• Crushed ice

Garnish

• Fresh blackberries
• Fresh rosemary sprigs

Instructions

1. Make the Blackberry Rosemary Syrup

Combine the blackberries, honey, water, and rosemary in a small saucepan.

Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer over medium-low heat. Cook for about 5 minutes, lightly pressing the berries as they soften.

Remove the rosemary sprig. Strain the syrup through a fine mesh sieve, then let it cool completely.

2. Build the Mocktails

Fill two chilled copper mugs with crushed ice.

Divide the blackberry rosemary syrup between the mugs. Add the fresh lime juice and gently stir.

Top with ginger beer until each mug is full.

3. Garnish & Serve

Garnish each drink with fresh blackberries, a rosemary sprig, and a lime wedge.

Serve immediately while the drink is cold and bubbly.

Why Copper Mugs Matter

Part of the appeal of a mule is the copper mug.

Copper quickly takes on the temperature of the ice. That helps keep the drink colder a little longer while making every sip feel extra refreshing.

Don't have copper mugs? No problem.

Serve this mocktail in a tall glass with plenty of crushed ice. You'll still enjoy the same blackberry, rosemary, lime, and ginger flavors.

Make It Your Own

This mocktail is easy to customize without changing its character.

• Swap honey for agave nectar.
• Add fresh mint with the rosemary.
• Use sparkling water for a lighter finish.
• Freeze blackberries instead of using ice cubes.
• Add extra lime for a brighter citrus flavor.

Sometimes the smallest changes become your favorite version.

Hosting doesn't have to feel complicated.

Prepare the blackberry rosemary syrup a day ahead and keep it chilled until you're ready to serve. Set out the copper mugs, garnishes, and plenty of crushed ice before guests arrive.

When it's time to pour, all that's left is adding the lime juice, ginger beer, and garnishes.

That means less time mixing drinks and more time enjoying the conversation.
