Strawberry Mint Sparkler Mocktail

Ingredients

• 3 medium fresh strawberries, hulled and sliced
• 1/2 ounce simple syrup
• 3/4 ounce fresh lime juice
• 8 fresh mint leaves
• 2 ounces white grape juice
• 3 ounces chilled club soda
• Ice
• Lime wheel, mint sprig, or strawberry, for garnish

Directions

1. Add the strawberries, simple syrup, and lime juice to a cocktail shaker or sturdy jar. Muddle until the berries are juicy and well broken down.
2. Add the mint leaves and press them gently a few times to release their aroma. Pour in the white grape juice, fill the shaker with ice, and shake until cold.
3. Fill a tall glass with fresh ice and pour in the club soda. Strain the strawberry mixture into the glass, stir gently, and garnish with lime, mint, or a strawberry.
