Strawberry Ginger Fizz Mocktail Recipe

This drink’s got the perfect blend: sweet strawberries and that sharp ginger ale bite. The combo of fruit, fizz, and a hint of fresh herbs makes it super refreshing—never heavy.

Equipment

• Muddler – I use this to crush the strawberries and really get those juices out.
• Cocktail shaker or jar with lid – Helps me mix everything together evenly.
• Fine mesh strainer – Keeps all the seeds and pulp out.
• Tall glass – I love seeing the color in a clear glass.
• Measuring spoons and cup – For the lemon juice, sweetener, and sparkling water.
• Knife and cutting board – To slice up the strawberries, lemon, or lime.
• Spoon – I stir things up before serving.
• Ice cube tray – Fresh ice makes all the difference.

I keep it simple with my tools, but honestly, a good muddler and strainer make everything easier.

Ingredients

• 1 cup fresh strawberries (or thawed frozen strawberries)
• 1 tablespoon lemon juice or lime juice
• 1–2 teaspoons agave syrup, honey, or agave nectar
• ½ cup ginger ale (chilled)
• ½ cup sparkling water or club soda
• A few mint leaves or fresh basil
• Ice cubes

I reach for fresh strawberries when I can, but thawed frozen ones totally work in a pinch. Sometimes I switch between honey and agave—depends on what’s in my pantry. Ginger ale brings the spice, and sparkling water keeps things light.

Instructions

• Toss strawberries and sweetener into a shaker or sturdy jar.
• Mash the berries with a muddler until they’re juicy.
• Pour in lemon or lime juice and give it a good stir.
• Add the chilled ginger ale and sparkling water.
• Drop some ice cubes into a tall glass.
• Strain the mixture into the glass so you don’t get seeds.
• Throw in some mint leaves or basil for garnish.
• Stir gently before you take that first sip.

I always sneak a taste first—sometimes I need a touch more honey or agave if it’s too tart.

Notes

I usually go for ginger ale because I like that spicy kick, but if I spot strawberry ginger ale, I’ll use that for extra fruitiness. Sparkling water or club soda helps keep the drink from getting too sweet.

Fresh mint or basil on top? So good. If I’m feeling it, I’ll squeeze in more lime for extra citrus. Crushed ice instead of cubes makes it colder and just a little easier to drink.

This recipe’s pretty forgiving, so I tweak the sweetener and fizz until it feels just right.

Tasting Notes

When I take my first sip, the fresh strawberry flavor jumps out at me. It’s light and sweet, but thankfully, not cloying.

The taste brings back memories of picking ripe berries, honestly.

Then the ginger steps in, adding this gentle heat that balances out the sweetness. I get a little warmth at the back of my throat—honestly, it makes the drink way more interesting.

That heat keeps the flavor from falling flat.

I really like the bubbly texture from the fizz. The carbonation gives it this crisp, refreshing feel.

Every sip has a bit of sparkle, and I keep reaching for my glass.

The flavors mix together in a pretty simple, balanced way:

• Sweetness: mild and fruity
• Spice: just a light ginger kick
• Texture: fizzy, smooth

Honestly, I think this drink shines when it’s super cold. The chill sharpens the strawberry and somehow makes the ginger pop even more.

It’s the kind of thing you can sip slowly and really savor.
