The Berry Smoothie Mocktail is a non-alcoholic twist on a traditional cocktail. Berries are blended with juice or dairy products, and flavored with a small amount of sweetener or honey to create a rich, smooth smoothie.

Sharing from the editor's perspective
The Berry Smoothie Mocktail is my favorite summer dessert! Its refreshing berry flavor paired with the smooth texture of sorbet creates a vibrant and sweet drink with a refreshing finish. Yogurt or coconut milk adds a smooth texture and provides protein, making it a perfect addition to a healthy diet.
The biggest advantage of making your own is the flexibility to adjust the sweetness and ingredients. Coconut milk adds an exotic sweetness, while yogurt is richer. A touch of lemon juice creates a perfect balance of tartness. I also recommend adding mint leaves for a refreshing touch, perfect for Hong Kong's hot and humid weather.
Berry Smoothie Mocktail is not only a non-alcoholic drink, but also a healthy summer dessert. It combines the fresh aroma of berries, the smoothness of lactic acid, and the refreshing feeling of smoothie, making it the best companion for staying energetic and enjoying life in the summer! 🍇🍓🥤🍃
