Instructions

TO MAKE THE ICE CUBES:

In a bowl, add the pineapple juice and minced strawberries, stirring everything together until combined. In your favorite ice tray----carefully pour the mixture into each cavity, filling them completely full. Repeat until all ice cube cavities are filled. Add the tray(s) to the freezer and freeze for 3-4 hours (or overnight) until ice is formed.

BLEND TOGETHER THE PASSIONFRUIT:

If using frozen passionfruit bites, add them to a high-powered blender along with the water, freshly-squeeze lemon juice, and Agave and blend on high-speed until smooth, about 2-3 minutes.

TO MAKE THE MOCKTAILS:

In a bowl, add the cubed watermelon, mulling (crushing) them until they are fully broken down. NOTE: You can also add the cubed watermelon to the passionfruit mixture and blend it together for a smoother texture.
ASSEMBLY: Add the prepared ice cubes to a glass(es) then add spoonfuls of the mulled watermelon (if using), followed by the mocktail mixture until ½ filled and top with lemon soda. For additional garnish, add the fresh mint leave(s) and sliced strawberries, if desired. Repeat for every serving.
Sip and Enjoy!

Notes

SERVING: To make additional mocktails, simply double or triple ingredients, depending on need.

SWEETENER: Instead of Agave syrup, you can substitute with pure maple syrup or organic cane sugar as a syrup (sugar + ½ cup water boiled over the stove top).
