In this mocktail, the sweet taste of strawberries is balanced by the herbaceous notes of basil, and the sourness is brought out by lime juice. This mocktail is great for any event, from relaxing by the pool to throwing a brunch.
Ingredients: 1 cup strawberries, hulled and sliced. 1/4 cup fresh basil leaves. 1/4 cup lime juice. 2 tbsp honey. 1 cup sparkling water. Ice cubes. Salt for rimming, optional. Lime wedges for garnish, optional. Fresh basil leaves for garnish, optional.
Instructions: Put basil leaves, honey, strawberries, and lime juice in a blender. Mix until it's smooth. If you want to get rid of the seeds and pulp, strain the mixture through a fine mesh sieve. Put ice cubes in glasses. Pour the strawberry basil mix over the ice cubes so that it's spread out evenly in each glass. Add sparkling water to the top of each glass and stir it in gently. You can put salt around the edges of the glasses if you want to. Just run a lime wedge around the edge and dip it in salt. If you want, you can add lime wedges and fresh basil leaves as a garnish. Serve right away and enjoy!
