It’s time for my third recipe using non-alcoholic ingredients from drinknolo.ie. I previously made the Apple – Gingerbread Syrup Sparkling Mocktail and the Non-alcoholic poached pears with New Orleans bitters, brownie & vanilla whipped cream. I really liked the Christmassy scent from the Monin gingerbread syrup so I decided to make a second mocktail (and I still have a cake recipe coming up too using this syrup).

The blueberries go so well with the gingerbread syrup, the lemon provides a slight sourness and the light hint of rosemary gives it even more of a Christmas vibe.

This blueberry-gingerbread syrup mocktail is very easy to make and you make it advance too and just add the soda water, fresh blueberries and ice cubes when you’re ready to serve. If you want to avoid throwing out the boiled blueberries you could also blend them into a jam with some additional sugar.. You can use the jam then on top of a cracker with goat cheese or pâté.
