Need a refreshing drink this summer? This strawberry mojito mocktail will have you sipping poolside in no time.
Mocktails are becoming increasingly popular, and for good reason. Especially when you can enjoy something this refreshingly delicious and not worry about a hangover or getting dehydrated in the sun.
Can I Use Frozen Strawberries Instead Of Fresh Ones?
You can if your blender can handle it. Your drink will just be more like a strawberry mojito slushie than an actual drink, and you’ll probably need less ice, if any.
Can I Make This Ahead?
You can blend everything up to a day ahead of time and then pour it over ice and add garnishes once you are ready to drink it. But this tastes best freshly made.
What Kind Of Sweetener Is Best?
The recipe calls for honey. But maple syrup will work, too. If you prefer to use a granular sweetener, it’s best to blend it in the blender with the strawberries instead of trying to muddle it with the mint.
Recipe Notes
- You can adjust the sweetness by adding more or less sweetener according to your preference.
- Experiment with different variations by substituting the strawberries with other fruits like raspberries, peaches, or blueberries.
About The Ingredients
Fresh strawberries – Pick the sweetest berries you can find.
Lime – You only need the juice. In a pinch, you can use bottled juice, but fresh squeezed is best.
Honey – Any type you like best, or use maple syrup.
Fresh mint leaves
Sparkling water – This is just plain, unflavored, and unsweetened sparkling water.
Ice cubes – Use as much as you like.
Lime slices – Or lemon slices, for garnish
How To Make A Strawberry Mojito Mocktail
Gather and measure all your ingredients.
In a blender, add the fresh strawberries and lime juice. Blend until smooth and well combined.
In a glass, muddle the mint leaves gently to release their flavors. You can use a muddler or the back of a spoon.
Add the honey to the glass and stir well to combine with the mint leaves.
Fill the glass with ice cubes, leaving some space at the top. Pour the strawberry-lime mixture over the ice, filling the glass about three-quarters full. Top off the glass with sparkling water or soda water, stirring gently to mix all the ingredients together.
Garnish with a sprig of fresh mint and a strawberry slice, if desired. Serve immediately.
Storage
If you have leftovers, strain the ice from the leftovers so they don’t get watered down by melting ice. Store it in an airtight container for up to 2 or 3 days in the fridge.
Freezing
You can freeze this in a popsicle mold if you wish. Otherwise, freezing is not recommended.
