Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup (150g) fresh strawberries, hulled and chopped (frozen strawberries can be used)
  • 2 tablespoons (30ml) fresh lime juice
  • 1 to 2 tablespoons (15-30ml) agave nectar or honey, adjust to taste
  • 1 cup (240ml) natural, unsweetened coconut water
  • 1012 fresh mint leaves, gently muddled
  • 1 cup (240ml) cold sparkling water or club soda (optional)
  • Ice cubes, as needed
  • Pinch of sea salt for glass rims (optional)
  • Optional garnishes: lime wedges, whole strawberries, mint sprigs

Instructions

  1. Prepare the glasses by rubbing a lime wedge around the edges and dipping them into sea salt if desired. Set aside.
  2. Place fresh mint leaves in a mixing glass or pitcher and gently muddle about 8-10 times to release oils without shredding.
  3. In a blender, combine chopped strawberries, fresh lime juice, and agave nectar or honey. Blend on high for about 30 seconds until smooth.
  4. Pour the strawberry puree into the pitcher with muddled mint. Add coconut water and stir gently to combine. Taste and adjust sweetness or lime as preferred.
  5. Just before serving, add cold sparkling water or club soda for fizz. Fill glasses with ice cubes and pour the mocktail mixture over the ice.
  6. Garnish with lime wedges, whole strawberries, or mint sprigs and serve immediately.

Notes

Gently muddle mint to avoid bitterness. Add sparkling water just before serving to keep fizz. Adjust sweetness based on strawberry ripeness. Frozen strawberries can be used and thawed slightly before blending. Coconut milk diluted with water can substitute coconut water for creaminess. Store leftovers in fridge up to 24 hours without ice to avoid dilution.
