This Strawberry Honey Basil Fizz Mocktail is a wonderful, refreshing, non-alcoholic drink to enjoy this spring and summer. It's naturally sweetened with honey simple syrup and muddled strawberries! Filled with fresh basil, lime juice, and a touch of plain sparkling water for a little carbonation, it screams perfect patio drink! This recipe makes one mocktail, but is very easily multiplied to make for a crowd!
Make the honey simple syrup. In a small saucepan, combine the honey and the water. Bring to a boil. Once boiling, remove from heat and stir until honey has dissolved. Cool completely.
To make the mocktail, add the sliced strawberries and torn basil leaves to a glass. Using a muddler or the end of a wooden spoon, muddle the strawberries and basil together until juicy and fragrant. Add crushed ice to the glass. Add the lime juice and simple syrup. Top with the sparkling water, and stir to combine. Garnish with a slice of lime or strawberry, and a basil leaf, if desired. Enjoy!
