Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup fresh strawberries, hulled and sliced (or frozen, thawed)
- 1 large kiwi, peeled and sliced
- 6–8 fresh mint leaves (optional but recommended)
- 2 tablespoons fresh lime juice (about 1 lime)
- 1 tablespoon maple syrup or simple syrup (adjust for sweetness)
- 1 ½ cups cold sparkling water (chilled)
- Ice cubes as needed
Instructions
- In a pitcher or mixing glass, add sliced strawberries, kiwi, and mint leaves. Gently muddle with a muddler or wooden spoon for 1-2 minutes to release juices and oils without pureeing.
- Add fresh lime juice and maple syrup (or simple syrup). Stir well to combine and adjust sweetness if needed.
- Fill the pitcher or glass halfway with ice cubes to chill the mixture.
- Slowly pour in the cold sparkling water (about 1 ½ cups or 350 ml). Stir gently to mix without losing fizz.
- Pour the mocktail into individual glasses, ensuring each gets some muddled fruit and mint. Garnish with a sprig of mint or a thin kiwi slice if desired.
- Serve immediately and enjoy. If preparing ahead, mix fruit and mint, refrigerate, and add sparkling water just before serving.
Notes
Use ripe but firm fruit to avoid mushy texture and bitterness from seeds. Chill all components for best refreshment. Adjust sweetness carefully to taste. Stir gently after adding sparkling water to preserve fizz. Prepare fruit mixture ahead but add sparkling water just before serving.
