Step-by-Step Instructions for Refreshing Virgin Strawberry Mojito
  1. Start by washing ½ cup of ripe strawberries, removing any green tops, and slicing them into thin pieces. Rinse 10-12 mint leaves and pat dry. Cut a fresh lime in half to juice later.
  2. In a sturdy glass, combine the sliced strawberries, mint leaves, and juice of one lime. Gently crush the ingredients for about 10-15 seconds to release oils and juices.
  3. Drizzle in your desired amount of sweetener and gently stir to blend. Ensure everything is mixed evenly.
  4. Fill the glass with crushed ice, leaving some space at the top for soda water.
  5. Top off the glass with 1 to 1½ cups of soda water or seltzer. Pour slowly and watch the bubbles rise.
  6. Gently stir the mixture to combine thoroughly. Garnish with a lime wedge or extra mint sprig and enjoy immediately.

Notes

Best enjoyed fresh; store leftovers without ice in an airtight container for up to 3 hours. Freeze the mixture in an ice cube tray for up to 1 month.
