Sparkling Mixed Berry Lemonade Mocktail {No-Added-Sugar}
This post may contain affiliate links. Please read my disclosure policy.
This Sparkling Mixed Berry Lemonade is the kind of drink you want on hand all summer. Frozen mixed berries and fresh lemon juice get blended up with your favorite sweetener, then topped with sparkling water for a little fizz. It’s a great mocktail on its own, but add a splash of citrus vodka to turn it into a happy-hour favorite. Cheers!
Like my favorite sugar-free strawberry lemonade recipe, this drink is made without added sugar. You get the natural sweetness of the berries, plus added sweetness from Splenda, beautifully balanced by the tartness of fresh lemon juice and finished with a little fizz from sparkling water.
Why you’ll love it
- Ready in 10 minutes – Just blend and pour.
- No added sugar – sweetened with your favorite zero-calorie sweetener (I use Splenda).
- Naturally refreshing – tart lemon and sweet berries balance each other perfectly.
- Easy to make ahead – blend the base a day early and add the sparkling water right before serving.
- Doubles as a cocktail – add a splash of citrus vodka and it’s happy hour ready.
- Great for a crowd – make a big pitcher of the berry lemon base and let everyone top off their own glass.
Ingredients You’ll Need
- Frozen mixed berries. Feel free to use your favorite blend. I use a frozen berry medley with raspberries, strawberries, blueberries, and blackberries.
- Large lemons. Fresh lemon juice is essential for the best flavor.
- Sweetener. I use granulated Splenda because I prefer the taste in this recipe; it works so well with lemonade. However, feel free to switch it up with your zero-calorie sweetener of choice.
- Sparkling water & still water. You’ll use still water for the blended berry lemonade and sparkling water to top it off with a little fizz.
How To Make Sparkling Mixed Berry Lemonade
- Add the frozen mixed berries, lemon juice, Splenda, and water to a blender. Blend until smooth.
- Pour the berry mixture into a pitcher and stir in the sparkling water.
- Fill glasses with ice and pour the lemonade over the top. Garnish with extra berries and lemon slices, if desired.
Notes
- I usually make the drink with 2 cups of sparkling water and serve it with sparkling water bottles on the side. This way, everyone can adjust the taste to their liking.
- For a smoother, seed-free texture, strain the blended berry mixture through a fine mesh sieve before adding the sparkling water.
- If not enjoying right away, chill the lemon juice and berry mixture separately from the sparkling water, then combine just before serving to keep it fizzy.
Yep. Add a splash of vodka or white rum to each glass, and you’ve got yourself a boozy version. Start with an ounce per glass and adjust from there depending on how strong you like it.
It does not have any sugar added. I used Splenda here, but feel free to swap in your favorite zero-calorie sweetener like stevia or monk fruit. Just keep in mind that different sweeteners have different sweetness levels, so taste as you go. Also, there will be some natural sugar from the berries.
Absolutely, though frozen berries actually work great here since you’re blending them anyway. If you go fresh, you may want to add a few extra ice cubes to the blender to help everything come together smoothly.
The berry and lemon base can be made a day ahead and kept in the fridge. Just hold off on the sparkling water until right before serving so it doesn’t go flat.
Make the berry-lemon base in a big pitcher, double if needed, then set out sparkling water on the side so guests can top off their own glass right before drinking.
