Summer Berries Mocktail: rosewater, kaffir lime and lemon zest
↓ Jump to recipeQuick answer
The Summer Berries Mocktail is 2 tbsp Summer Berries syrup with 1/4 tbsp rosewater, 1/4 cup club soda, half a lemon zest and 3-4 muddled kaffir lime leaves over ice. It is stirred in a flat-bottomed glass and garnished with fresh berries. Prep takes about five minutes.
Why does this recipe work?
Swa syrups use real fruit rather than synthetic flavouring, which matters in a berry drink where flavour often falls flat. Rosewater and kaffir lime add aroma, while the lemon zest keeps the sweetness in check.
Where does it fit on a cafe menu?
The aromatics make this a good option for a cafe that wants a drink with visual and fragrance appeal. Fresh berries are optional, so it works year-round. For a straight strawberry profile see the Swa Strawberry syrup.

What does the kaffir lime leaf add?
A bright citrus aroma. Muddle gently so the oils release without making the drink bitter.
How much rosewater should I use?
Just 1/4 tbsp. Rosewater is strong, so add a little at a time and taste.
Can I use fresh berries in the drink?
Yes. Strawberry, mulberry or blueberry can be added to the glass or used as garnish when available.
