If you're craving a refreshing summer drink that brings all the fun without the booze, let me introduce you to the Strawberry Mockarita. This delightful mocktail margarita combines the sweetness of strawberries with the tang of citrus, all rounded out with the unique twist of tea. It’s not just a drink; it’s a little escape in a glass.
The secret ingredient here is Strawberry Honeysuckle White Tea. This isn't your average iced tea. It brings a floral sweetness that pairs perfectly with the vibrant flavors of summer. Just brew it ahead of time and let it chill in the fridge so it's ready to go when you need it. This tea sets the stage for a mocktail that's light, refreshing, and just a bit fancy.
Next up, let’s talk about the citrus elements. You’ll need 1 ounce of orange juice and 1/2 ounce of lime juice. The orange juice adds a sunny sweetness, while the lime juice gives that essential margarita zing. Freshly squeezed juices are always best, but no judgment if you grab the store-bought stuff in a pinch. After all, this mockarita is all about easy, breezy enjoyment.
Now, we can’t forget the strawberry nectar. This is where the real strawberry flavor comes through, rich and luscious. With 1 ounce of strawberry nectar, you’re doubling down on that fruity goodness. Mix it all together with the tea and juices, and you’re almost there. The final touch is 2 1/2 ounces of sparkling water, which gives the drink a refreshing fizz and makes it perfect for those hot summer days.
