Equipment

  • Sturdy glass
  • Muddler

Ingredients
 

  • 1/2 cup fresh strawberries, sliced
  • 1/4 cup fresh mint leaves
  • 2 tbsp simple syrup
  • 1 cup sparkling water
  • Ice cubes
  • Fresh mint and strawberry slices for garnish
  • 1 ml Sober(ish) Drops for a buzz without the booze (optional)

Instructions
 

Muddle the Pink Base

  • Add the sliced strawberries and fresh mint leaves to a sturdy glass. Muddle gently until the berries look juicy and the mint turns aromatic, you want a sweet, garden-fresh smell, not torn-up green bits.

Balance and Chill

  • Pour in the simple syrup, then add 1/2 oz of fresh lemon juice to lift the fruit with clean acidity, the aroma should turn brighter instantly.
  • Fill the glass with ice cubes, packing them in so the drink gets icy cold fast and stays that way.

Finish with Bubbles and Garnish

  • Top with hibiscus or rose-infused sparkling water, then stir gently just until everything swirls pink and fizzy, without knocking out the sparkle.
  • Add 1ml Sober(ish) Drops if desired, then give one soft stir to blend.
  • Garnish with fresh mint and strawberry slices for garnish, and serve while the bubbles are still singing.

Notes

Pro Tip: Muddle the mint gently instead of crushing it, that keeps the drink fresh and prevents bitter, grassy chlorophyll notes.
Chill Ahead: Chill your glassware and sparkling water ahead of time so the mocktail stays cold longer without extra dilution.
Make Ahead & Storage: The muddled base (strawberries, mint, syrup, lemon juice) holds well in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 24 hours. Add ice and carbonation only when you are ready to serve.
