Strawberry Mojito Mocktails
Strawberry Mojito Mocktails are a virgin drink that combines fresh strawberries, mint, freshly squeezed lime juice, and lemon-lime soda. These refreshing drinks are perfect for the whole family and anyone else who prefers a non-alcoholic beverage.
No-Alcoholic Strawberry Mojito
While we love a delicious Grapefruit Mojito or Blueberry Mojito for Friday happy hour, there are tons of reasons to have a great mocktail recipe too. Many folks prefer a non-alcoholic drink and it’s nice to include everyone by preparing something fancy – like one of these mocktails.
Let’s put our party hats on and make some delicious strawberry mojito mocktails!
Why This Recipe Works:
- SIMPLE – The easy drink uses simple-to-find ingredients and makes a gorgeous party mocktail.
- A REFRESHING DRINK – We love to serve these on a hot summer day when temperatures soar. The bright flavors make a really good mocktail during the summer months.
- SWEET FLAVOR – The soda adds sweetness and it’s balanced out with fresh lime juice.
- FOR ALL AGES – This classic mojito mocktail is a fun twist and makes it easy to include folks of all ages during special occasions.
What You’ll Need:
You’ll just need a handful of simple ingredients for this strawberry mocktail recipe.
- Sweet Strawberries – Use fresh strawberries for this delicious mocktail. Frozen strawberries could be used if you let them thaw out first.
- Mint Leaves – We have an extra-large patch of mint in our yard which makes it super convenient to make mojitos on a whim. Muddling the mint gives this virgin cocktail a hint of mint flavor.
- Limes – Use a citrus press to squeeze the limes needed for these mocktails.
- Sprite – We love Sprite in these but 7-Up is a great replacement for these tasty drinks.
