This chilled beverage features fresh strawberries, mint leaves, and lime wedges muddled together with a sugar-free powdered sweetener. The mixture is divided into glasses filled with crushed ice and topped with sparkling water to create a fruity, carbonated drink. The result is a crisp and bubbly mocktail made with simple ingredients.

About This Recipe

To prepare the drink, the fruit and herbs are pressed gently in a glass or shaker to release their natural juices and aromatic oils before the sparkling water is added. Using powdered erythritol or monk fruit ensures the sweetener dissolves quickly into the cold liquid without leaving a gritty texture. It is important to serve the beverage immediately after assembly to maintain the carbonation and the bright color of the muddled berries.

The flavor relies on the combination of tart lime and sweet strawberries balanced by the cooling sensation of fresh mint. Since the recipe uses sparkling water as a base, it provides a refreshing mouthfeel that echoes the sweet-and-savory balance of a traditional cocktail without the sugar or alcohol. The addition of crushed ice helps distribute the fruit and herb fragments evenly throughout the glass for a consistent taste in every sip.

This drink works well as a refreshment and can be prepared ahead of time by muddling the base mixture up to four hours before serving. It’s easy to customize the profile by swapping the strawberries for raspberries or using flavored sparkling water to vary the citrus notes. This mocktail is best served in tall glasses garnished with extra mint sprigs, offering a structured and festive option for any occasion.
