Ingredients
Scale
For the Drink
- 3–4 medium fresh strawberries
- 0.75 ounces lime juice (freshly squeezed)
- 1 Tablespoon honey (or agave syrup)
- 2 ounces orange juice (fresh or store-bought)
- Club soda, sparkling water, or ginger beer (to taste)
For the Glass
- Flaky salt (for rimming the glass)
- Ice (for filling the glass)
Instructions
- Rim Glass With Salt: Rim a glass with flaky salt by moistening the rim with a lime wedge, then dipping it into flaky salt. Fill the glass with ice to chill and prepare it for the drink.
- Blend or Muddle Strawberries: In a blender or sturdy glass, blend or muddle the fresh strawberries until they are evenly mashed and form a juicy base for the mocktail.
- Mix Ingredients in Cocktail Shaker: Transfer the muddled strawberries into a cocktail shaker. Add the lime juice, honey (or agave syrup), and orange juice. Add ice to the shaker and shake vigorously to combine and chill the ingredients.
- Pour Into Glass & Top With Soda: Pour the shaken mixture into the prepared glass. Top off the drink with club soda, sparkling water, or ginger beer according to your taste preference for a light fizz and refreshing finish.
Notes
- Adjust sweetness by varying the amount of honey or agave syrup.
- Use freshly squeezed juices for the best flavor.
- Ginger beer adds a spicy kick, while club soda offers a more neutral fizz.
- For a frozen variation, blend ingredients with ice instead of shaking.
- Can be easily scaled for multiple servings.
