Ingredients

Strawberries – Strawberries are one of the most popular fruits in the world, enjoyed for their sweet and tart flavor. Not only are fresh strawberries delicious, but they also offer numerous health benefits due to their high antioxidant content. You can use frozen strawberries in this recipe if you can’t find fresh berries.

Fresh Mint – Fresh mint has a delightfully refreshing and invigorating flavor that pairs well with both sweet and savory dishes. 

Lime – Lime is a popular citrus fruit that is used in many dishes to give them a tangy flavor. Fresh lime juice can be added to drinks or salads, and its zest can be used for seasoning. Lime has many health benefits too, such as providing vitamin C, potassium, and antioxidants that can help boost your immune system.

Simple Syrup – Simple syrup is an essential ingredient for making many different types of drinks, including cocktails, lemonade and iced tea. It is a combination of sugar and water that has been boiled together until the sugar dissolves completely. Simple syrup can be used in a variety of recipes to sweeten drinks, glazes and sauces as well as to add moisture to cakes or other baked goods. It’s easy to make at home with just two ingredients: sugar and water. The result is a thick liquid that can be stored in the refrigerator for up to six months.

Sparkling Water – Sparkling water is becoming increasingly popular in cocktails due to its refreshing and crisp taste. By adding soda water to your favorite cocktails, you can create a lighter version with fewer calories. Not only does this make for a healthier option, but it also adds an extra layer of flavor that can’t be found in any other mixers. Sparkling water is the perfect addition to your cocktail selection, offering both health benefits and deliciousness.
