Fresh Whole30 Spring Mocktail Recipe Easy Mint Lime Strawberry Drink

Whole30 Spring Mocktail - featured image

A refreshing Whole30-approved mocktail featuring fresh mint, lime, and strawberries with sparkling water. Perfect for spring and summer, this drink is light, tangy, and naturally sweet without added sugars.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 6 medium fresh strawberries, hulled and sliced
  • 1012 fresh mint leaves, washed
  • Juice of 2 medium limes (about 3 tablespoons / 45 ml), freshly squeezed
  • 1 ½ cups (360 ml) sparkling water, chilled (plain or lightly flavored, no added sugars)
  • Ice cubes, as needed
  • Optional: 1 teaspoon (5 ml) Whole30-approved sweetener like raw honey or maple syrup
  • Fresh lime wedges for garnish

Instructions

  1. Rinse and hull the strawberries, then slice them thinly. Wash the mint leaves gently to avoid bruising.
  2. Place the strawberries and mint leaves into a mixing glass or pitcher. Using a muddler or the back of a spoon, press down gently about 10-15 times to release juices and oils without pulverizing the mint.
  3. Add the freshly squeezed lime juice (about 3 tablespoons) to the muddled mixture and stir lightly to combine.
  4. If using, add 1 teaspoon of raw honey or maple syrup and stir until dissolved. This step is optional.
  5. Fill your serving glass about halfway with ice cubes.
  6. Pour the muddled mixture over the ice.
  7. Slowly pour 1 ½ cups (360 ml) of chilled sparkling water over the ice and muddled fruit mixture. Stir gently to combine without losing fizz.
  8. Garnish with a fresh lime wedge and a few whole mint leaves. Serve immediately.

Notes

Do not over-muddle the mint to avoid bitterness. Use fresh lime juice for best flavor. Chill sparkling water and ice for a crisp, refreshing drink. Prepare muddled mixture up to 2 hours ahead and refrigerate; add sparkling water and ice just before serving to keep bubbles lively.
