The glass rim is coated with coarse salt, adding texture. A fresh green lime wedge is placed on the rim of the glass. Around the glass, there are sliced strawberries and lime wedges on a white marbled surface, with a wooden board partially visible under the glass.

2 ounces orange juice
Club soda, sparkling water, or ginger beer (to taste)
Flaky salt (for rim)

Step 1: Rim a glass with flaky salt and fill it with ice.
Step 2: Blend the strawberries or muddle them in a sturdy glass until evenly mashed.
Step 3: Place the muddled strawberries, lime juice, honey, and orange juice in a cocktail shaker filled with ice, then shake well.
Step 4: Pour the mixture into the prepared glass and top with ginger beer, club soda, or sparkling water to your taste.

Tips & Variations

For extra sweetness, adjust the honey or agave syrup to your preference.
Use fresh lime juice for the best bright flavor.
Try adding a sprig of fresh mint or a lime wedge as garnish for a special touch.
Swap ginger beer for club soda or sparkling water to vary the fizz and flavor.

Mocktail Ingredients

3–4 medium fresh strawberries
0.75 ounces lime juice (freshly squeezed)
1 Tablespoon honey or agave syrup
2 ounces orange juice (fresh or store-bought)
Club soda, sparkling water, or ginger beer (to taste)

For Glass Rim

Flaky salt (for rimming the glass)
Ice (for filling the glass)

Instructions

Rim Glass With Salt: Start by rimming your glass with flaky salt. To do this, moisten the rim of the glass with a lime wedge or water, then dip it into flaky salt so it sticks evenly around the edge. Fill the glass with ice to keep the drink chilled.
Blend or Muddle Strawberries: Place the fresh strawberries in a blender or a sturdy glass and either blend them until smooth or muddle them thoroughly using a muddler or spoon. This releases their sweet juices and creates a fruity base.
Mix Ingredients in Cocktail Shaker: Transfer the muddled strawberries into a cocktail shaker along with lime juice, honey (or agave syrup), and orange juice. Add ice to the shaker and shake well to mix and chill the ingredients.
Pour Into Glass & Top With Soda: Strain or pour the mixed mocktail into the prepared salted glass filled with ice. Top the drink with your choice of ginger beer, club soda, or sparkling water to add fizz and balance the flavors. Stir gently if desired and serve immediately.

Notes

You can adjust the sweetness by adding more or less honey or agave syrup according to taste.
For an extra burst of citrus, garnish with a lime wedge or strawberry slice on the glass rim.
Use freshly squeezed lime and orange juice for the best flavor profile.
Ginger beer adds a spicy kick, while club soda and sparkling water provide a more neutral fizz.
To keep it vegan, ensure honey is replaced with agave syrup.
