Fresh strawberries are the star of this drink. I use one cup of hulled and sliced strawberries. They give the drink a sweet and fruity taste. Always choose ripe strawberries for the best flavor. Look for bright red color and firm texture. Wash them well before using. Mint leaves add a cool touch to the mocktail. You’ll need ten fresh mint leaves, plus a few more for garnish. Gently bruise the leaves to release their oils. This gives the drink a refreshing smell and taste. Fresh mint is key here; dried mint won’t work well. For sweetness, I often use honey or agave syrup. You need two tablespoons, but feel free to adjust to your taste. Both options blend well with the strawberries and mint. If you prefer, you can use sugar or a sugar substitute. Just remember to mix well so it dissolves completely. For the full recipe, check the details above. Start by choosing a nice glass. A tall glass works best for this drink.

Remember, the better the strawberries, the tastier your mocktail will be! Muddling is key to releasing the flavors in your drink. Use a muddler or the back of a spoon. Press gently on the strawberries and mint leaves. You want to mash them, not turn them into mush. This helps the mint oils mix well with the strawberries. If you muddle too hard, the mint can taste bitter. A few firm presses will do the trick, giving you a refreshing taste. If you want to change the sweetness, try different options. Honey and agave syrup are great choices. You can also use simple syrup or stevia. Adjust the amount to fit your taste. If you prefer less sweetness, start with a small amount and add more as needed.
