Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup fresh strawberries, hulled and quartered
- 10–12 fresh mint leaves
- Juice of 2 medium limes (about 2 tablespoons or 30 ml)
- 2 tablespoons granulated sugar (or honey/agave syrup/maple syrup as substitute)
- 1 cup (240 ml) club soda or sparkling water
- Ice cubes
- Lime wedges and strawberry slices for garnish (optional)
Instructions
- Rinse strawberries and mint leaves under cold water. Hull and quarter the strawberries.
- In a glass pitcher or mixing glass, add strawberries, mint leaves, and sugar. Gently muddle about 10-15 times to release juices and oils without pulverizing the mint.
- Add fresh lime juice and stir quickly to combine.
- Fill the glass or pitcher halfway with ice cubes.
- Pour chilled club soda or sparkling water over the ice. Stir gently once or twice to blend without losing fizz.
- Garnish with strawberry slices and a sprig of mint. Serve immediately with a straw or cocktail pick.
Notes
Muddle gently to avoid bitterness from mint. Use fresh lime juice for best flavor. Prepare just before serving to keep mint fresh and soda bubbly. Frozen strawberries can be used if thawed slightly. Substitute sweeteners to suit dietary needs.
