If you’re from Buffalo, odds are you’re familiar with the loganberry drink.

A loganberry is an actual berry (it’s a blackberry-raspberry hybrid), but if you’re from Western New York the first thing to come to mind is probably the drink!

The Inspiration for This Blackberry Lime Mocktail Spritzer – Loganberry Drink

Loganberry drink is syrupy sweet, caffeine-free, non-carbonated, and deep red in color.

I’ve heard that this drink was originally sold at the Crystal Beach theme park in Ontario, and it’s popular in both Southern Ontario and Western New York. Growing up in Buffalo, I can say for sure that it was considered a Buffalo classic!

You can read more about the loganberry drink on The Breeze.

Blackberry Syrup with Fresh Mint and Lime

If you’ve followed my blog for a while you probably know two things about me: 1) I’m from Buffalo, and 2) I keep it real. So I’m going to be honest with you about the loganberry drink. Even though I grew up with loganberry available everywhere, I tried it maybe twice and couldn’t even finish a full cup because it was just way too sweet for me (even as a kid!).

But that doesn’t mean that I don’t like the idea of loganberry. And anything that reminds me of home is a winner in my book.

Low Carb Mocktails

For this Blackberry Lime Mocktail Spritzer Recipe, I made a sugar-free version of blackberry syrup. However, you could use a mix of blackberries and raspberries if you really want to try to simulate loganberry.

My version is a lot less sweet with a lot fewer carbs than the original loganberry drink. And fresh lemon juice really wakes up the flavor!

Pro Tip: I sweetened this recipe with a combination of erythritol and stevia glycerite because I wanted to keep carbs low. However, you could use about two to three tablespoons of sugar instead if you prefer. 

This syrup is lovely for making into fun summer drinks! I kept the flavors simple with mint, lime, and sparkling water and it couldn’t be more refreshing.

How to Make This Blackberry Lime Mocktail Spritzer Recipe Into a Wine Spritzer

Reduce the amount of sparkling water by half and use wine instead. I prefer a white wine such as Sauvignon Blanc for this. However, you can use any type of wine you like.

More Refreshing Drinks to Try:

  • Balsamic Blueberry Smoothie
  • Keto Lemonade
  • Cold Brew Coffee
  • Starbucks Pink Drink (Copycat Recipe)
  • Strawberry Chia Seed Iced Green Tea

Ingredients

Blackberry Syrup:

  • 1 cup fresh blackberries
  • 1 cup water
  • 1 1/2 tablespoons granulated erythritol see Note
  • 3 drops stevia glycerite see Note
  • 1 small pinch sea salt
  • 1-3 teaspoons fresh lime juice more or less to taste
  • 1/4 teaspoon pure vanilla extract

To Make Mocktail Spritzers:

  • Crushed ice
  • 3/4 cup Blackberry Syrup
  • 4 cans sparkling water (8 fl oz/237 ml cans)
  • 4 mint sprigs
  • 2 limes thinly sliced
US Customary - Metric

Instructions

For the Blackberry Syrup:

  • Add the blackberries, water, erythritol, stevia glycerite, and salt to a medium saucepan. Bring to a boil, and then reduce the heat, cover, and simmer 10 minutes.
  • Turn off the heat and let the berries steep in the liquid for 30 minutes to an hour.
  • Use a fine mesh sieve to strain out the berries, reserving the liquid.
  • Stir the lime juice and vanilla into the blackberry syrup.

To Make the Mocktail Spritzers:

  • Fill 4 glasses 2/3 full of crushed ice. Into each glass, add the following: 3 tablespoons Blackberry Syrup, 8 ounces sparkling water, 1 mint sprig, and 2 slices of lime.
  • Serve.

Helpful Tips

  • Net Carbs: 4g per serving (3 tablespoons of syrup)
  • Erythritol + Stevia Glycerite for Sweetener: If you prefer to omit these, use about 3 tablespoons of sugar instead.
  • To Make Wine Spritzers Instead of Mocktail Spritzers: Use half sparkling water and half wine. I like white wine, such as Sauvignon Blanc, for this.

This year I made a new charoset recipe for tonight This year I made a new charoset recipe for tonight’s #seder! In addition to apple, nuts, and cinnamon, it’s heavy on the apricot and I think it’s my favorite version yet. 🥰 And by that I mean it’s good enough to enjoy year-round and not just save for #passover. I will definitely be sharing the recipe on my blog soon. 😘 #chagsemeach #pesach #pesach2021 #dayenu #foodstyling #foodphotography
#ad If you're looking for an easy baking project t #ad If you're looking for an easy baking project that's perfect for spring, Soft Frosted Sugar Cookies are it! 🌿 These cakey vanilla-scented cookies are frosted with colorful buttercream and decorated with sprinkles. (Tip: Swap out the colors and they're perfect for any season!) I like to scoop the dough, but you can also roll it out and stamp out the dough with cookie cutters to customize them even more.
 
I used @egglandsbest eggs in this recipe! Compared with ordinary eggs, EB's eggs have 6 times more Vitamin D, more than double the Omega-3s and vitamin B12, and 10 times more vitamin E. How can you tell you are using EB egg? Look for the “EB” stamp right on the shell. 🥚

This really isn't the prettiest dish. 🙈 But it' This really isn't the prettiest dish. 🙈 But it's nourishing and uncomplicated, mostly cabbage and ground beef and a few other veggies along with a couple spices. It's #paleo and easy to make #lowcarb and #ketofriendly. And it doesn't need a lot of time; just 10 minutes of prep time and 20 minutes to cook. The best part is, it's so much more delicious than you might think! What it lacks in looks, it definitely makes up for in other ways. 🥰 Find my Unstuffed Cabbage Rolls recipe on @anediblemosaic --> https://www.anediblemosaic.com/unstuffed-cabbage-rolls-recipe/

These are supposed to be French Crullers, but as y These are supposed to be French Crullers, but as you can see they look nothing like they're supposed to! 🙈😁 I'd call the recipe a flop in that sense, except for 2 things: 1) they still taste great (swipe through to the last photo showing their pillow-y interior), and 2) I made them on a Zoom call together with my dear friend Evelyene (@cultureatz). Eve and I virtually met around the time we both started blogging (she lives in Montreal), which was over a decade ago (it's crazy to think how fast time flies!).

When we first met in real life last year before the pandemic hit, it was an instant connection. It was lots of laughs, local exploration, good food, great conversation, and she even brought me bagels from her hometown! She's a kindred soul. 🥰❤️ Since then we've stayed connected and have spent a few afternoons cooking together. We've made Russian dumplings called Pelmeni and we had a holiday cake-off where I made a Gingerbread Roll Cake and Eve made a Pumpkin Roll Cake.

She and I used the same recipe for French Crullers and it didn't work as expected for either of us (just wait until you see how Evelyne's turned out, they're completely different from mine!), but still I'd call it a success.

I think this delicious disaster deserves to be commemorated, so I wanted to style and photograph them. Even though the prop styling is minimal, it's an eclectic grouping:

1) Background: Scrap marble at a floor tile store in Jacksonville, Florida. The lady was awesome, she told me to look around and take any scrap tile I could use.
2) Cake stand (swipe through to see it better): I got this at my favorite ceramics store in Paris, France called @astierdevillatte in May 2015.
3) Espresso cups: Seller @madhouseceramics on @etsy.
4) Small spoons: Seller Ann Cutting from ceramicpix on @etsy.
5) Espresso: My favorite espresso @lavazzausa.

And the best part is that it's made in the Instant Pot and only requires 15 minutes of hands-on prep time!
