Description
This Strawberry Margarita Mocktail is a refreshing, alcohol-free pink drink bursting with fresh strawberries, lime, and a fizzy finish, served in a classic salt-rimmed glass. It’s quick to make, crowd-pleasing, and perfect for any festive occasion or summer gathering.
Ingredients
- 1 cup fresh strawberries, hulled and sliced (about 150g)
- 1/4 cup fresh lime juice (about 2 limes, 60ml)
- 2 tablespoons agave syrup (30ml)
- 1/4 cup orange juice (60ml)
- 1 cup cold sparkling water (240ml)
- 2 tablespoons coarse sea salt (for rim, about 30g)
- 1 lime wedge (for rimming glass)
- Ice cubes (for serving)
- Optional garnishes: strawberry slices, lime wheels, fresh mint leaves
Instructions
- Pour coarse sea salt onto a small plate. Run a lime wedge around the rim of each glass, then dip the rim into the salt to coat. Set glasses aside.
- In a blender, combine strawberries, lime juice, orange juice, and agave syrup. Blend on high for 30 seconds until completely smooth.
- Optional: Strain the strawberry blend through a fine mesh strainer into a pitcher for a pulp-free drink.
- Pour cold sparkling water into the pitcher and stir gently to combine.
- Fill each salt-rimmed glass with ice. Pour the strawberry mocktail mix evenly between glasses.
- Garnish with strawberry slices, lime wheels, and mint leaves as desired.
- Taste and adjust sweetness or tartness by adding more agave or lime juice if needed.
- Serve immediately while the bubbles are fresh and the salt rim is crisp.
Notes
Use ripe, fragrant strawberries for best flavor. Chill all ingredients and glasses for maximum refreshment. Add sparkling water just before serving to keep the fizz. For a pulp-free drink, strain the blended mixture. Adjust sweetness and tartness to taste. Garnish right before serving for best presentation.
