Strawberry Basil Smash Mocktail
Experience the refreshing taste of our Lower Sugar Strawberry Basil Smash Mocktail! Perfect for health-conscious individuals, this delightful drink combines the natural sweetness of ripe strawberries with the aromatic essence of fresh basil, all with less sugar. Treat yourself to a mocktail that tastes great and feels even better.
It’s unofficially Summer and I’ve got another lower sugar mocktail to share! ☀️
This one will have you questioning why you even reach for alcohol in the first place (okay, maybe not, the kids are on Summer Break for goodness sake) but IT’S THAT GOOD! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
This drink is the perfect combination of sweet and tart, and what’s even better is that it’s made from ingredients you probably have at home (if your little berry gremlins - I mean kids - haven’t gotten to the strawberries first).
Ingredients
2-3 basil leaves (plus more for garnish, optional)
2 strawberries (plus one more for garnish, optional)
juice from 1/2 lime, about 0.5 oz
0.25 oz simple syrup
4 oz club soda (or more, tastes just as great diluted)
ice
Instructions
Muddle together basil, strawberries, lime juice, and simple syrup.
Fill cute glass with ice.
Pour drink mixture over ice and top with club soda and garnishes.
Enjoy!
