How to Make It (Step-by-Step)

Step Block 1 — Prep & Batter

Prepare your glass by rubbing the rim with a lime wedge and dipping it into flaky salt.
Add ice to your glass so it’s ready for pouring.

Step Block 2 — Bake & Cool

In a shaker or blender, combine strawberries, lime juice, honey/agave, and orange juice. Blend or shake until smooth.
Pour the mixture over the ice.
Top with club soda, sparkling water, or ginger beer.
Stir gently and serve immediately.

Helpful Tips

Blend longer for a smoother, juice-like finish, or muddle for a chunkier texture.
Taste your strawberries first — add a little more sweetener if they’re not very ripe.
Add the fizzy topper at the end so it stays bubbly.

Substitutions & Variations

Swap honey for simple syrup if you prefer a neutral sweetness.
Use sparkling lime water instead of club soda for extra citrus flavor.
Add sliced strawberries or lime wheels for garnish.
Make it frozen by blending everything with a cup of ice.

What to Serve With It

This mocktail pairs beautifully with light meals such as grilled chicken, fresh salads, tacos, or fruit platters. It’s also a refreshing drink for brunch spreads or outdoor gatherings.

Leftovers & Storage

Store the blended mixture (without any fizz added) in the fridge for up to 1 day.
Add sparkling water or ginger beer only when ready to serve so it stays bubbly.
Stir before pouring, as fruit may settle.
