1

Prepare the Strawberry Syrup

In a small saucepan, combine 1 cup of fresh or frozen strawberries, 1/2 cup of sugar, and 1/2 cup of water. Bring the mixture to a boil over medium heat, stirring occasionally. Once the sugar has dissolved and the strawberries have softened, remove the saucepan from the heat.

2

Blend and Strain the Strawberry Syrup

Using a blender or food processor, puree the strawberry mixture until smooth. Then, strain the mixture through a fine-mesh sieve to remove any seeds or pulp. Transfer the strained syrup into a container and let it cool completely.

3

Create the Striped Effect

In a glass or mason jar, pour 1/4 cup of the strawberry syrup into the bottom. Tilt the glass slightly and slowly pour 1/4 cup of club soda or sparkling water down the side of the glass. This will create the striped effect. Repeat this step with another 1/4 cup of syrup and 1/4 cup of club soda, tilting the glass in the opposite direction.

4

Add Ice and Garnish

Fill the glass with ice cubes and top it off with more club soda. Give it a gentle stir to mix the flavors. To add an extra touch of elegance, garnish your mocktail with a fresh strawberry or a sprig of mint. You can also add a colorful paper umbrella for a tropical vibe!
