Black Grape Juice Mocktail Recipe

Black Grape Juice Mocktail is a refreshing zingy drink made using freshly squeezed black grapes. This drink is a real crowd pleaser because of its rich vibrant purple colour and tastes amazing too.

For making this drink, seedless variety of grapes are used which are elongated in shape. As I get plenty of sweet black grapes in Hyderabad (India) in winter season, this drink has become my recent favourite.

Without a doubt as we all know fruits are really good for health, the black grapes make no exception. They are rich source of vitamin C, antioxidants and fibre. Instead of having carbonated drinks or sugar laced fruit juices, extracting fresh fruit juices at home is a far better option.

You can extract fresh black grape juice using a juicer or blending jar, dilute it with water in 2:1 ratio and you are good to go. Below I have shown step by step method of how grape juice can be extracted and that too in few minutes.

How to make black grape mocktail?

To make this fruit mocktail, I am adding here soda water (carbonated water) to freshly extracted black grape juice. You can even add Limca to it. I am going to apply black salt on the rim of serving glasses as with every sip you get tantalizing flavour of grapes with black salt along with the fizz from soda water.

The only thing you must do here it to add the soda water/limca at the time of serving. Do not add it beforehand. Some more tips-

1. Taste the grapes once. Add sugar if the grapes are less sweet or sour. You can adjust the quantity as per your taste.

2. Instead of water you can add any soda, clear soft drink like limca or sprite. If you are using soft drink don’t add any additional sugar as soft drinks already have sugar.

3. In case you are making it for hot weather, feel free to add a scoop of vanilla ice cream.

4. If you making it for kids and don’t want to use soft drink or soda water, just add water.
