Ingredients

Made with simple ingredients, this delicious beverage uses basic ingredients found at your local grocery store. The mocktail ingredients are designed to be as low-calorie and keto-friendly as possible. However, feel free to use the regular version and experiment - this recipe is super versatile and can be easily adjusted to your preference.

• This drink is perfect in the summer when fresh, ripe strawberries are available. If you make this drink in February, when stores carry red strawberries that are white inside, use only the red parts of the fruit. You can also use frozen strawberries.
• Fresh lime juice provides a delicious citrusy contrast to the sweetness of the strawberries. You can also use fresh lemon juice.
• Mint leaves provide a refreshing, herby contrast to the lime and strawberries.
• I used zero-calorie strawberry syrup to further intensify the strawberry flavor in this recipe. You can also use freeze-dried strawberry powder or for a delicious variation, orange juice.
• Ice cubes are used to chill this drink and provide some structure so that you can decorate the sides of the glass with lime slices and cut-out strawberries.
• We used zero-calorie lemon-lime Sprite or 7-Up for this bubbly drink. The regular version with sugar is also fine. If you choose to use sparkling water or club soda, soda water, seltzer water or lime seltzer instead, you may need to add some simple syrup if the drink is not sweet enough. For a no-fizz version use strawberry limeade or strawberry lemonade.

How to make a strawberry mocktail mojito

This delicious citrus strawberry mocktail required only three steps. No special equipment like a cocktail shaker is required.
