Strawberry Refresher Recipe. Enjoy this uplifting strawberry lime sparkling drink for Valentine’s Day or anytime.

I wanted to make something special for us to drink on Valentine’s Day. But this refresher can be made any time of year. I think it would be delicious on a hot day in the summer.

Strawberry Refresher Drink Recipe

Refresher drinks are great when you want something light and refreshing.

What is a Refresher?

“A refresher can be any drink that is uplifting, invigorating and refreshing. Refreshers are always cold, served over ice and sometimes are blended. Refreshers are a natural and delicious non-alcoholic drink that you can enjoy daily.”
– From Mocktail.net

Ingredients:

• 3-4 Strawberries
• 5-6 Mint Leaves
• 1 Tbsp Fresh Lime Juice (1/2 lime)
• 1/2 Cup White Cranberry Strawberry Juice Cocktail
• 1/2 Cup Lime Bubly Sparkling Water

Save a few extra strawberries, mint, and lime slices to garnish your glass.

How to Make a Strawberry Refresher

Remove the stems and slice about 3-4 medium-sized strawberries. Then add them to your drink glass. I used a stemless wine glass, but you can use any tall glass or even a large mason jar.

Add 5-6 mint leaves.

Juice 1/2 half a lime and add to the glass.

Muddle the strawberries, mint, and lime juice together. This will release the juices and flavors and allow them to mix better with the rest of the drink ingredients.

You could also make a strawberry puree with mint in the blender and use that instead of the muddler. Use a fine mesh sieve to remove any remaining seeds.

Add ice cubes to the glass. Pour about 4 ounces of the white cranberry juice cocktail over the ice and fruit mixture.

Use white grape juice if you can’t find white cranberry strawberry juice instead.

Top off with lime sparkling water. I like the flavor of Bubly, but any sparkling water will work. Lightly stir to combine.

Garnish with fresh strawberries, mint, and/or lime slices.

You can adjust the sweetness of this drink by adding more or less juice to taste. Use lemon-lime soda instead of sparkling water if you want a sweeter drink that is more like a soda.
