Mocktail Moment for the Southern Girl

This Strawberry and Mint mocktail is a perfect early spring mocktail. With a little lime, it is reminiscent of classic southern cocktails (especially with a little bourbon).

Mocktail

Ingredients

4 Strawberries (sliced and muddled)

6 mint leaves (muddled)

1 oz Lime Juice

1 oz Simple Syrup

Top with Sparkling Water

Recipe: In a cocktail shaker, muddle sliced strawberries and mint leaves. You want to slice your strawberries to be almost like you would eat them or mix them in yogurt. Add simple syrup and muddle a bit more. Add ice then pour lime juice. Close and shake until cold. Double strain into a highball glass with ice. Top with sparkling water. Garnish with strawberries and mint leaves.
