Servings2 people
Calories97kcal
- 1 Cup Strawberries
- 1 lime or lemon
- 2 tbsp honey or maple or your favourite sweetener
- 2 Cups Soda water
- Ice Cubes plain or lemon/lime juice ice
- handful Fresh Basil leaves or mint
Instructions
- Combine the strawberries, lime juice, basil, and sweetener to a bowl/jug and muddle well (or use a blender to puree).
- Optionally, strain the mixture through a fine-mesh strainer. Alternatively, simply add large ice cubes to the glass/es and top up with soda water. Stir Well
- Optionally garnish with additional lemon/lime slices or even cucumber.
How To Store:
- Leftovers will store in the refrigerator for 2-3 days when covered (if un-strained - or alternatively 4-5 days if strained). Just give it a quick stir before using and away you go.
Notes
- If you decide to make a large pitcher, then serve the ice in the individual glasses and not the pitcher, so you don't dilute the jugful.
- Alternatively, make lemon/lime juice ice cubes to add to the drink along with normal ice cubes.
- For a simple boozy 'slushie', use frozen strawberries and then add all the ingredients to a blender minus the soda, but adding a shot of alcohol and blend, then top up with some soda and stir.
- To make a strawberry mojito mocktail - Use mint leaves instead of basil and serve with soda water or store-bought lemonade.
- For a super simple hack to get the most juice out of your limes. Microwave them for around 20 seconds, roll on the counter, then squeeze as usual.
