So it has been beautiful here in North Carolina. Since the weather has been so nice every night before dinner I sit outside on the patio to read, and decided that I need some fun beverages! And have become obsessed with Mocktails! And I can pick some of the ingredients from our mini-garden. One of my new favorite drinks is a Strawberry Mint Smash I saw on Pinterest.
Super simple to make! I doubled the recipe and adjusted it a little. This is the non-alcholoic version but I am sure you can add rum or vodka as well!
Ingredients:
- 4-6 Strawberries cut into slices
- 12-14 large mint leaves
- Crushed ice
- 4 teaspoons of agave nectar
- 1/4 cup lime juice
- 6 ounces of blood orange Italian soda - I used orange since I am not a fan of blood orange, you can also use lemon as well
- Club Soda
Directions:
- Put the strawberries, mint and muddle.
- Add agave nectar and lime juice into a shaker and muddle. I used a mason jar since I find them easy to clean, and I have a ton of them hanging around my home.
- Add Italian Soda and shake! Be careful since this will get really bubbly.
- Fill glass with 2/3 of crushed ice.
- Pour into glasses, and top with club soda. Garnish with Strawberry, lime, mint, etc!
Voila!
Let me know if you make this drink and how you modify it!
Happy Pinning!
