Ingredients
-
1 cup fresh or frozen strawberries
-
¼ cup fresh lime juice
-
2–3 tablespoons honey, agave, or simple syrup (to taste)
-
½ cup sparkling water
-
1 cup ice cubes
-
Optional: Pinch of salt or sugar for rimming the glass
-
Garnish: Strawberry slices, lime wheel, or fresh mint
Instructions
-
Rim your glass: Rub a lime wedge around the rim and dip in sugar or salt. Set aside.
-
Blend your mocktail: Add strawberries, lime juice, sweetener, and ice to a blender. Blend until smooth.
For a chunkier version, muddle the strawberries and shake ingredients with ice in a cocktail shaker. -
Strain (optional): Strain through a fine mesh strainer for a smoother drink.
-
Pour and fizz: Pour into a prepared glass and top with sparkling water. Stir gently.
-
Garnish and serve: Add a lime wheel, strawberry slice, or mint sprig for a beautiful finish.
Notes
-
Use frozen strawberries for a thicker, slushier texture.
-
Add jalapeño for a spicy twist or a splash of orange juice for extra citrus.
-
Store the base (without sparkling water) in the fridge for up to 1 day.
-
Freeze leftovers in ice cube trays for quick mocktail refreshers or smoothie add-ins.
