Equipment

  • Blender
  • Measuring cups and spoons
  • Citrus juicer or handheld reamer
  • Fine-mesh sieve, optional
  • Two serving glasses
  • Spoon or cocktail stirrer
  • Straws, optional

Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup strawberries fresh ripe, hulled and halved
  • 1-2 tablespoons honey or simple syrup, adjusted to taste
  • 2 tablespoons lime juice freshly squeezed, about 1 lime
  • ½ cup crushed ice for blending
  • Additional crushed ice for serving
  • ½ cup cold sparkling water or club soda
  • Fresh mint leaves optional garnish
  • Fresh strawberry slices or lime wedges optional garnish

Instructions
 

Blend the Strawberry Base

  • Add the fresh strawberries, honey or simple syrup, lime juice and ½ cup crushed ice to a blender. Blend until the strawberry mixture is smooth and evenly combined.

Strain the Mixture

  • For a smoother strawberry mocktail, pour the blended mixture through a fine-mesh sieve to remove the seeds and excess pulp. This step is optional.

Fill the Glasses

  • Fill two glasses about halfway with additional crushed ice. Divide the blended strawberry mixture evenly between the glasses.

Add the Sparkling Water

  • Top each glass with cold sparkling water or club soda. Stir gently so the bubbles are not lost.

Garnish and Serve

  • Garnish each strawberry lime mocktail with fresh mint, a sliced strawberry or a lime wedge. Serve immediately with a straw.
    • Tip: Use very ripe strawberries and ice-cold sparkling water for the best strawberry mocktail with crushed ice. Add the sparkling water just before serving so the drink stays fresh, fizzy and full of bright strawberry-lime flavour.

Notes

  • Use ripe, naturally sweet strawberries for the strongest fresh strawberry flavour.
  • Begin with 1 tablespoon of honey or simple syrup, then taste the mixture before adding more.
  • Keep the sparkling water cold so the finished strawberry mocktail stays refreshing and fizzy.
  • Add the sparkling water just before serving to preserve the bubbles.
  • Frozen strawberries may be used, but the drink will have a thicker, slushier texture.
  • For extra lime flavour, add a little finely grated lime zest before blending.
