Instructions
Muddled Version:
- Muddle strawberries and lime: Add sliced or quartered strawberries, lime wedges and honey to a tall cocktail glass. Muddle until the strawberries and lime wedges break down.
- Gently muddle mint: Add the mint leaves and give it just a few taps with the muddler to gently bruise it and release the oils.
- Add the soda water: Add a handful of ice cubes. Give it a stir to combine. Top with chilled soda water or sparkling water. Gently stir again.
- Garnish and serve: Garnish with a fresh sprig of mint, extra lime and strawberries if you like. For easy sipping, also add a straw. Enjoy!
Blender Version:
- Blend: Place coconut water, strawberries, mint leaves, lime juice and honey in a blender. Blend on high until smooth.
- Assemble: Fill two tall glasses with ice cubes. Divide blended mixture between the two glasses and top off with soda water (1/2 cup per glass).
- Enjoy: Garnish glasses if you like with strawberries, mint and lime. Pop in a reusable straw and enjoy!
Notes
- Muddler: For the muddled version, you will need a muddler. Don’t have one? No worries! You can also the handle of a sturdy wooden spoon, the end of a thinner wooden rolling pin or the tamper that comes with some blenders like Vitamix.
- For a pitcher (8 servings): Place 4 cups sliced or quartered strawberries, 4 limes cut into wedges and 3 tablespoons honey (or to taste) in a pitcher and muddle until strawberries and lime break down. Add 40 mint leaves and lightly muddle again. Add ice cubes to the pitcher and pour in 4 cups chilled soda water or sparkling water. Give it a stir to combine. Serve in glasses filled with ice. Garnish with extra mint and strawberries and lime wedges, if desired.
