Cranberry Lemon Blackberry Mocktail or Cocktail Recipe

Cranberry Lemon Blackberry Mocktail {or Cocktail}

This Cranberry Lemon Blackberry Mocktail is inspired by the classic vodka cranberry cocktail and includes an option with a splash of vodka for readers 21+ (remember, always drink responsibly!). If you are making the cocktail option, you will find that the vodka adds a nice sharpness to the drink and brings out the flavors of the citrus and berries very well.

You can add a decorative skewer of blackberries and lemon slices which adds some flair and acts as a nice stir stick for the drink. I recommend using an 8″ wooden skewer which you can find at your local grocery or crafts store.

Get creative and add your favorite berries, depending on what is in season. I added some optional raspberries as shown in the pictures. Blueberries would also be a nice summer ingredient option.
