Refresh your palate with the Blueberry Lemon Gummy Bear Mocktail, a lively and playful drink combining fresh blueberries, zesty lemon, and a natural gelling agent to create a fun gummy texture. This mocktail balances fruity sweetness with tart brightness, making it an ideal refreshment for warm days, parties, or any occasion needing a unique, dairy-free, and light beverage.

Ingredients

Scale

Fruits and Liquids

  • 1 cup fresh blueberries
  • 1/4 cup fresh lemon juice
  • 1/2 cup water
  • 1 teaspoon blueberry extract (natural)
  • 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar

Sweeteners and Gelling Agents

  • 2 tablespoons maple syrup (natural) or agave (natural)
  • 1 tablespoon natural gelling agent

Optional Add-ins

  • 2 tablespoons smoked turkey bacon crumbles (optional)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Fruit Base: Thoroughly wash the fresh blueberries. Blend them together with fresh lemon juice and water until smooth, creating a vibrant and fruity base for your mocktail.
  2. Sweeten and Add Vinegar: Stir in the maple syrup or agave along with the apple cider vinegar, balancing the tartness with a gentle sweetness for a lively flavor.
  3. Incorporate the Natural Gelling Agent: Gently heat the mixture on low and whisk in the natural gelling agent, stirring continuously until it thickens slightly to achieve the desired gummy texture.
  4. Chill and Set: Pour the thickened mixture into molds or containers. Refrigerate until fully set, allowing the gummy bears to firm up perfectly.
  5. Mix and Serve: Once set, crumble or slice the gummy bites and add them to sparkling water or chilled grape juice for a refreshing, bubbly, and textured mocktail experience. Top with smoked turkey bacon crumbles if desired.

Notes

  • Use fresh lemons and blueberries to maximize flavor intensity and brightness.
  • Adjust the amount of natural sweetener according to your preferred sweetness.
  • Slowly heat when adding the natural gelling agent to prevent clumping and ensure a smooth texture.
  • Chill the mixture long enough to allow the gummies to set firmly before serving.
  • Enhance berry flavor by adding a small amount of natural blueberry extract without increasing sugar.
