Instructions

Begin by preparing your strawberries and lemon. Once they’re appropriately sliced, add them into a jug along with the mint leaves. Use a muddler or the back end of a wooden spoon to gently crush the ingredients, releasing their flavors.
Choose either sparkling water or a light-colored soda, and pour it into the mixture. Gently stir everything together to ensure the flavors meld.
If desired, toss in some ice to make your drink super refreshing. Before serving, garnish with whole strawberries and a slice of lemon.

Variations

Boozy Strawberry Mojito: If you’re in the mood for an alcoholic twist, add 1-2 ounces of white rum or vodka to the mix. Adjust according to taste.

Berry Blend Mojito: Experiment with other berries like blueberries or raspberries for a mixed berry delight.

Herbal Infusion: If mint isn’t your favorite, try basil for an earthy touch or even rosemary for a sophisticated twist.
