Screaming Strawberry Fizz Mocktail Recipe
I make this fruity mocktail for both kids and adults. It’s just fresh strawberries, a few simple ingredients, and you end up with a fizzy pink drink that’s honestly a breeze to put together.
Equipment
- Blender: Gets the strawberries nice and smooth.
- Fine mesh strainer: For getting rid of seeds and pulp.
- Pitcher: Makes serving a lot easier.
- Citrus juicer: Squeezing fresh lemon or lime is just better.
- Stirring spoon: For mixing everything up.
- Tall glasses: The pink color looks great in clear glass.
- Ice cube tray: Gotta have ice, right?
- Measuring cups and spoons: Helps keep things consistent.
- Knife and cutting board: For prepping strawberries and garnish.
Ingredients
- 1 cup fresh strawberries (washed and hulled)
- 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
- 1 tablespoon honey or agave syrup
- 1 cup cold club soda or sparkling water
- 1/2 cup cold water
- Ice cubes
- Extra strawberries for garnish
- Fresh mint leaves (optional)
Everything here is super easy to find, nothing fancy. Ripe strawberries are best—they give the drink that natural sweetness and a pop of color.
I’ll sometimes swap in agave syrup if I want to keep things vegan.
Instructions
- Slice the strawberries and toss them into the blender.
- Add lemon juice and honey or agave syrup.
- Pour in 1/2 cup cold water and blend until smooth.
- Strain the mixture through a fine mesh strainer into a pitcher to get rid of seeds and pulp.
- Add club soda or sparkling water and stir gently.
- Fill tall glasses with ice.
- Pour the mocktail over the ice.
- Garnish with a strawberry slice and maybe a mint sprig if you’re feeling fancy.
- Serve right away while it’s still fizzy.
Notes
Fresh strawberries are my go-to when they’re in season. If they’re not available, thawed frozen strawberries work, but honestly, fresh is just tastier.
Sometimes I’ll squeeze in more lemon juice if I’m in the mood for something tangier. The honey or agave can be tweaked for sweetness too.
For a crowd, I just double or triple the recipe and stash the pitcher in the fridge until it’s time for the bubbles.
Crushed ice makes the drink colder and helps everything mix. I always add the sparkling water last so the fizz doesn’t disappear.
Definitely serve it right away for the best bubbles and flavor.
