Ingredients

SODAS:

  • 2 cups strawberries, de-stemmed + mulled
  • handful fresh mint leaves, mulled
  • 1 cup freshly-squeezed grapefruit juice (That's about 2 large Grapefruits!)
  • 3 Tbsps raw honey (See Notes for Vegan option!)
  • 3-4 parts sparkling water, for topping (I love using La Croix or Spindrift)

OPTIONAL TOPPINGS:

  • Sliced strawberries
  • Sliced grapefruit
  • Fresh mint leaves
  • Crushed ice

Instructions

MULL THE FRUITS:

  • In a bowl, add the fresh strawberries, grapefruit juice, and mint leaves mulling (crushing) everything together until strawberries and leaves are fully broken down. Add Agave and stir until combined. Let sit for 10 minutes to ensure that flavors fuse together.

TO MAKE THE SODAS:

  • In two glasses, add the crushed ice and fill ½ of each glass with the grapefruit-strawberry mixture, and top with sparkling water to the ¾ mark. For additional garnish, add sliced strawberries, sliced grapefruit, and mint leaves.
  • Sip and Enjoy!

Notes

  • SWEETENER: Instead of Agave syrup, you can substitute with pure maple syrup or organic cane sugar as a syrup (sugar + water boiled over the stove top).
  • VEGAN OPTION: You can use Agave or maple syrup as a sweetener instead of honey to make this vegan.
