For a refreshing Strawberry Mojito Mocktail, you’ll need:

Ingredients:

• 1 cup fresh strawberries, plus more for garnish
• 10-12 fresh mint leaves, plus more for garnish
• 2 tablespoons sugar (adjust to taste)

3. Fill the Glass: Add ice cubes to the glass, filling it to the top.
4. Top with Club Soda: Pour the club soda or sparkling water over the ice, leaving a little room at the top to stir.
5. Mix and Garnish: Gently stir to combine all the ingredients. Garnish with a sprig of mint and slices of strawberry on the rim or floated on top for a visually appealing presentation.
6. Enjoy: Serve immediately and enjoy the refreshing taste of your Strawberry Mojito Mocktail!

This mocktail is perfect for summer gatherings or as a vibrant, non-alcoholic option at any celebration. Enjoy the fresh, fruity flavors with the invigorating kick of mint!
