1 cup fresh or frozen wild berries (blueberries, raspberries, blackberries)
2 cups apple juice
1/4 cup elderflower cordial
1/2 cup lemonade
4 sprigs of fresh mint
Ice cubes
Fresh wild berries and mint leaves for garnish
Instructions
In a large pitcher, combine the wild berries and apple juice. Muddle gently to release the juices from the berries. Add the elderflower cordial and lemonade. Stir well to combine. Divide the fresh mint sprigs among four glasses, gently crushing them in each glass to release their aroma. Fill each glass with ice cubes, then strain the Arctic Forest Mocktail over the crushed mint leaves. Garnish with fresh wild berries and a sprig of mint, if desired.
Chefβs Insight
The combination of elderflower cordial and wild berries creates a taste reminiscent of a Nordic summer day, while the fresh mint adds a refreshing touch.
Notes
The key to the perfect Arctic Forest Mocktail is using fresh and ripe wild berries for optimal flavor.
