Ingredients
- 2 cups frozen strawberries (about 300g)
- 1/4 cup fresh lime juice (60ml)
- 3 tablespoons simple syrup (equal parts sugar and water, heated until dissolved)
- Optional: 1 tablespoon granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup sparkling water or lemon-lime soda (120ml)
- Optional garnishes: fresh strawberry slices, lime wedges or wheels, fresh mint leaves
Instructions
- Prep your ingredients: Measure 2 cups of frozen strawberries and squeeze fresh lime juice until you have 1/4 cup. Have your simple syrup ready. Slice a strawberry and cut a lime wheel for garnish if desired.
- Add to blender: Place frozen strawberries, lime juice, and simple syrup into your blender. Add 1/2 cup of sparkling water or lemon-lime soda, adding the sparkling water last to preserve bubbles.
- Blend until smooth and icy: Start blending on low and gradually increase to high speed. Blend until thick, slushy consistency with no large ice chunks. Adjust thickness by adding more sparkling water or frozen strawberries as needed.
- Taste and adjust sweetness: Taste the mocktail and add more simple syrup or granulated sugar if too tart. Pulse to mix.
- Serve immediately: Pour into glass and garnish with fresh strawberry slices, lime wheel, and mint if desired. Add a straw or spoon and enjoy.
