Ingredients
Strawberry Simple Syrup
- 1 cup sliced fresh strawberries
- ½ cup water
- ½ cup organic cane sugar
Mango Puree
- 8 oz mango chunks (about 1 ripe mango, peeled and cubed)
- 1 cup water
- ½ lemon, freshly squeezed
Mocktail
- ½ cup mango puree, divided
- ½ cup cooled strawberry simple syrup
- 4 oz whiskey alternative
- Crushed ice or ice cubes
- Club soda, for topping (preferably lemon-lime flavor)
- Fresh rosemary or thyme sprigs, for garnish
- Sliced fresh strawberries, for garnish
Instructions
- Make the Strawberry Simple Syrup: In a saucepan over medium-high heat, combine sliced strawberries, water, and sugar. Stir to combine and bring to a boil, about 2 minutes. Reduce heat to low and simmer for an additional 3 minutes. Remove from heat and set aside to cool completely.
- Prepare the Mango Puree: In a high-powered blender, combine mango chunks, water, and freshly squeezed lemon juice. Blend on high speed for 2-3 minutes until smooth and creamy.
- Mix the Mocktail: In a cocktail shaker, combine the cooled strawberry simple syrup and whiskey alternative. Shake well until combined. If preferred, whisk together in a bowl. If not using the whiskey alternative, simply mix the juices and syrup together.
- Assemble the Drink: Fill glasses with crushed ice or ice cubes. Add the mango puree evenly to each glass, followed by the mocktail mixture until the glass is about three-quarters full. Top off with club soda to taste.
- Garnish and Serve: Add fresh rosemary or thyme sprigs and sliced fresh strawberries to each glass for a beautiful and aromatic garnish. Serve immediately and enjoy your refreshing mocktail!
Notes
- You can substitute fresh mango with frozen mango chunks if fresh is unavailable; just thaw before blending.
- For a sweeter mocktail, adjust the amount of simple syrup to your taste.
- Club soda can be replaced with lemon-lime soda or sparkling water depending on preference.
- To make this vegan and gluten free, ensure the whiskey alternative used follows those dietary restrictions.
- For a more intense herbal aroma, gently bruise the rosemary or thyme sprigs before garnishing.
