Strawberry Citrus Fizz Mocktail Recipe
This refreshing and zesty drink is perfect for any occasion. It's easy to make and combines the sweetness of strawberries with the zing of citrus.
Equipment
- First, I grab a blender to smoothly mix the strawberries.
- A citrus juicer is essential to extract the juice from the lemons and oranges.
- I also use a fine mesh strainer to remove any pulp.
- For serving, I choose a set of tall glasses and a spoon for stirring.
- Lastly, ice cube trays come in handy for chilling the mocktail.
Ingredients
Here's what I need:
- 1 cup of fresh strawberries hulled
- 2 cups of sparkling water
- 1/2 cup of freshly squeezed lemon juice
- 1/4 cup of orange juice
- 2 tablespoons of honey or agave syrup
- Ice cubes as needed
Strawberries add a sweet flavor, while lemon and orange juices bring a bright, citrusy kick. Honey sweetens it just right. Sparkling water makes it nice and fizzy.
Instructions
- First, I blend strawberries until smooth.
- Then, using my strainer, I strain the puree to remove seeds and pulp.
- Next, I add lemon, orange juice, and honey to the puree and stir well.
- I fill glasses with ice and pour the mixture evenly.
- Lastly, I top each glass with sparkling water.
- I make sure to stir gently to keep the fizz. 🍓🍊
- If desired, garnish with sliced strawberries or a lemon wedge for extra flavor and a pop of color.
Notes
For a sweeter mocktail, I simply add more honey. If I prefer less sweetness, I reduce it a little.
Sometimes, I like to swap sparkling water with a flavored one for variety. Garnishes like mint leaves make it extra special too.
