Pro Tips

 Use a fine mesh strainer if you don’t want pulp or strawberry seeds in your drink.

 Make it a slushie by blending everything with ice for a frozen version.

 Lime zest + salt rim makes the whole drink smell fresher and feel more elevated.

 Try flavored sparkling water (like lime or berry) for extra depth without sugar.

 Batch ahead by muddling and mixing everything but the sparkling water—add that fresh when serving.

FAQs

Can I make this ahead of time?


Yes, just mix everything except the sparkling water. Store in the fridge, then add fizz when serving.

What’s a good replacement for sparkling water?


Use plain kombucha, flavored seltzer, or even cold coconut water for a softer twist.

Can I use frozen strawberries?


Absolutely—just thaw slightly before muddling, or blend everything for a smoother version.

Is this drink healthy?


Yes. It’s made with whole fruit, no added alcohol, and you control the sweetness.
