Additional Ingredients:

Instructions

- Transform fresh strawberries into a vibrant puree by combining them with tangy lime juice, natural sweetener, and water in a high-powered blender until achieving a silky smooth consistency.
- Refine the texture of the strawberry mixture by passing it through a fine mesh strainer, eliminating any unwanted pulp for a more sophisticated drinking experience.
- Create a refreshing beverage by filling a glass with ice cubes and gently pouring the strained strawberry-lime mixture, then crowning it with effervescent sparkling water to introduce a light, bubbly dimension.
- Elevate the presentation by adorning the glass with a delicate lime wedge and a pristine strawberry slice, transforming the mocktail into a visually appealing summer refreshment.

Notes
- Use ripe, sweet strawberries for the most vibrant and intense flavor profile in your mocktail.
- Adjust honey or agave syrup quantity based on strawberry sweetness and personal taste preference.
- Freeze extra strawberry-lime mixture in ice cube trays for future quick mocktail preparations.
