Strawberry Mule Mocktail
This fruity Strawberry Mule Mocktail is the perfect balance of strawberry and ginger, but without the sugar overload. And the copper mugs aren't just aesthetic, they keep things refreshingly ice-cold!
EQUIPMENT
- blender or food processor - I use this one
- glassware - copper mug
INGREDIENTS
- 6 medium fresh strawberries - washed and sliced
- ½ - 1 tablespoon raw honey
- 1 lime - juiced
- 4 ounces ginger beer - I like Reed’s Extra Ginger Brew or Fever Tree Premium Ginger Beer
- 4 ounces club soda - or replace with 2 ounces non alcoholic spirits *
INSTRUCTIONS
- To a food processor (or blender), add the sliced strawberries, raw honey, and freshly squeezed lime juice. Blend until it becomes a smooth liquid.
- Fill a copper mug 1/3 of the way with ice. Add the strawberry puree, ginger beer, and tonic water. Stir until well combined and garnish with a fresh strawberry.
RECIPE NOTES
* Optional non-alcoholic vodka - Brands I have tried include Arkay, Strykk, and CleanCo. Full disclosure, they really did not live up to the vodka flavor and I do not recommend them. I included them for those experimenting with non-alcoholic spirits.
RECIPE VARIATIONS
- Use strawberry preserves when strawberries are not in season. I recommend starting with 2 tablespoons and adding more as needed.
- Cut calories and sugar with Barritt’s Diet Ginger Beer. The flavor is on the lighter side when it comes to ginger but still a great option (without an odd aftertaste).
- Make it kid friendly with ginger ale or lemon lime soda instead of ginger beer.
