A large glass pitcher filled with a deep purple blackberry mocktail, garnished with floating lemon wheels and fresh blackberries, set on a wooden table.

Ingredients

2 cups blackberry puree, strained to remove seeds
3 cups chilled Lapsang Souchong tea, brewed to medium strength
3/4 cup fresh grapefruit juice
1/2 cup date syrup
1 quart chilled sparkling water
Fresh blackberries and grapefruit wheels for garnish
Ice for serving

Instructions

In a large pitcher, combine the blackberry puree, chilled Lapsang Souchong tea, fresh grapefruit juice, and date syrup.
Stir vigorously with a long spoon until the date syrup is fully integrated and the mixture is uniform.
Taste the base and add more date syrup one tablespoon at a time if a sweeter profile is desired.
Just before serving, gently pour in the chilled sparkling water to maintain the carbonation.
Stir once or twice very gently to combine without losing the fizz.
Fill individual glasses with ice and pour the mocktail over the top.
Garnish each glass with a few fresh blackberries and a lemon wheel.
