Strawberry Basil Margarita Mocktail

🍓🌿 Strawberry Basil Margarita Mocktail

Fresh strawberries, fragrant basil, a squeeze of lime, and sparkling strawberry flavor make this such a refreshing summer drink. It has all the fun of a pretty patio margarita—without the alcohol and without loading it up with sugar.

Sometimes the simplest summer ingredients make the prettiest drinks at the Rosemary Thyme Table. 🍓🌿

Strawberry Basil Margarita Mocktail

Makes 2

Ingredients

• 4–5 fresh strawberries, hulled
• 4–5 fresh basil leaves, plus more for garnish
• Juice of 1 lime
• 1 teaspoon honey or preferred sweetener, optional
• 1 bottle Strawberry Sparkling ICE, chilled
• Ice
• Lime wedges and fresh strawberries, for garnish

For the rim, optional

• Lime wedge
• A little coarse salt or a salt-and-Swerve mixture

Directions

1. Add the strawberries, basil leaves, and lime juice to a small glass or measuring cup. Gently muddle until the strawberries release their juices and the basil becomes fragrant.
2. Taste and add a little honey or sweetener only if the strawberries need it.
3. If desired, rub a lime wedge around the rims of two glasses and dip them lightly into the rim mixture.
4. Fill the glasses with ice.
5. Divide the strawberry-basil mixture between the glasses.
6. Slowly pour chilled Strawberry Sparkling ICE over each and gently stir.
7. Garnish with a fresh strawberry, lime wedge, and small sprig of basil.

🌿 Rosemary Thyme Tip: For an extra-pretty summer glass, slice a strawberry and a few basil leaves and tuck them among the ice before adding the sparkling drink.
