Scale
Main Ingredients
- 6 fresh strawberries, hulled and sliced
- 10 fresh mint leaves
- 1 tablespoon sugar (or to taste)
- Juice of 1 lime
- Ice cubes
- ½ cup soda water (or sparkling water)
Optional
- 2 oz white rum (for alcoholic version)
Instructions
- Muddle Ingredients: In a sturdy glass or cocktail shaker, muddle the strawberries, fresh mint leaves, and sugar together until the strawberries are crushed and their juices are released, creating a flavorful base.
- Add Lime Juice: Squeeze the juice of one lime into the muddled mixture and stir well to combine the tartness with the sweetness and mint flavors.
- Chill with Ice: Add ice cubes to the glass to chill the drink and help dilute the intense flavors slightly for a refreshing taste.
- Add Soda Water: Pour half a cup of soda water or sparkling water over the muddled mixture and stir gently to combine all ingredients evenly, maintaining the drink’s effervescence.
- Optional Alcohol Addition: If making the alcoholic version, add 2 ounces of white rum to the drink and mix gently to incorporate it fully.
- Garnish and Serve: Garnish the drink with extra mint leaves, a lime wedge, or a strawberry slice. Serve immediately to enjoy at its freshest and most refreshing.
Notes
- Adjust the sugar quantity to suit your preferred sweetness level.
- For a non-alcoholic version, simply omit the rum.
- Use fresh, ripe strawberries for the best flavor.
- Crushing the mint gently helps release its oils without making the drink bitter.
- Soda water can be substituted with flavored sparkling water for a twist.
- Use crushed ice for an even cooler drink.
