Strawberry Mojito Mocktail
Ingredients
- ¾ cup diced strawberries and a few for garnish
- ½ sliced lemon or swap with lime if you’re feeling zesty!
- 1 can of sparkling water or a light-colored soda like Sprite or 7-Up Pick whatever you have handy, honestly, it all works
- 5-10 mint leaves
- Ice optional, but trust me, it’s so worth it
Instructions
- Prepare your strawberries and lemon by slicing them into bite-sized pieces. Toss them in your glass or jug. Add those lovely mint leaves for a little extra flavor kick.
- Get a little messy and crush them with a muddler or even the back of a sturdy wooden spoon. This step releases all the natural juices, and it’s the secret to getting the best flavor without adding extra sugar.
- Pour in your sparkling water or soda, and give everything a good stir. The bubbles will mix with the juices you’ve muddled together, creating that refreshing sparkle.
- Add ice if you want it nice and chilled (perfect for hot summer days or when you just need a cooldown).
- Garnish with a whole strawberry and a slice of lemon on the rim. It’s a small touch, but it makes you feel like you’re enjoying something really fancy!
Notes
- Swap lemon for lime if you prefer a tangier flavor. The lime’s zestiness pairs beautifully with strawberries and mint, making it a perfect alternative.
- Customize the sweetness by using a soda or sticking with sparkling water if you want a less sweet version. Sometimes, especially if you’re sharing with the kiddos, a light soda can make it feel extra special.
- Adjust serving size easily – This recipe is a breeze to scale up if you’re hosting family or friends. Just double or triple the ingredients depending on the size of your crowd.
