Tips & Tricks

When making a Strawberry Basil Fizz Mocktail, fresh ingredients make all the difference. 🍓

Use freshly picked basil leaves and juicy strawberries. Trust me, it’ll boost the flavor! 🌿

Store your strawberries in the fridge until you’re ready to use them.

Keeping them cold helps keep them fresh longer. You can also freeze fresh strawberries for that extra chill.

Stir the mocktail gently to mix the flavors without losing the bubbles.

If you stir too hard, it will go flat! Mixing slowly keeps the fizz just right. 🥤

Create your own twist by adding a tablespoon of honey for natural sweetness. Agave syrup works too!

Garnish with a whole strawberry or a small sprig of basil on top of the glass.

It looks fancy and adds extra aroma. 🍃

Feeling adventurous? Try adding a squeeze of lime for some tangy goodness!

Remember, there’s no wrong way to enjoy this drink.
