🛒Ingredients
- Fresh strawberries - if unavailable, frozen ones work too, just be sure to thaw them first. When muddling the strawberries, aim for small pieces that can easily pass through a straw. You can also use a blender if preferred.
- Fresh mint - instead of chopping, gently clap it between your hands before muddling it to release its flavor.
- Lime juice - use fresh over bottled for the most authentic flavor.
- Club soda/Seltzer - adds a refreshing fizz, feel free to use your preferred sparkling water.
- Sweetener - optional. You can use a flavored soda here or add a drizzle of simple sugar syrup. For a low-sugar alternative, use your preferred sweetener instead of sugar.

📋Tips
- No muddler? No problem! Just use a wooden spoon or spatula to crush the ingredients.
- Be gentle when muddling the mint to extract the flavor without breaking it into small pieces.
- Feel free to adjust the ingredients to your taste. This recipe is a great starting point for crafting your own strawberry mojito mocktail!
- Make for a crowd. For a crowd, multiply the recipe and mix in a pitcher, ensuring even distribution. Add ice to each glass just before serving to prevent dilution, maintaining the refreshing taste, even with any delay.
