Number of servings: 4
Preparation time: 30 mins
Ingredients
Strawberry Purée (makes 4 mocktails):
Strawberries: 320g
Honey: 1/4 cup (80ml)
Mocktail (serves 1):
Strawberry purée: 100g
Yuzu juice: 30ml (or substitute with 20ml grapefruit juice + 10ml lemon juice)
Basil leaves: 5g
Sparkling water: to top up (around 70ml)
Ice cubes: as needed
Garnish:
Fresh Strawberries
Sprigs of basil
Method
Start by making the strawberry purée. Smash 320g of strawberries in a bowl with 80ml of honey until the mixture is mostly smooth with small chunks remaining. This purée is enough to make 4 glasses of mocktail.
If using yuzu juice, measure out 30ml and add into cocktail shaker. If substituting, squeeze in 20ml of grapefruit juice and 10ml of lemon juice into cocktail shaker.
Add 100g of the prepared strawberry purée. Tear in the basil leaves (about 5g).
Add ice cubes to fill up the cocktail shaker. Close the lid, hold the top and bottom firmly, and shake well until the shaker feels icy cold.
Prepare a frozen glass. Add a sprig of basil and fill it with ice cubes. Pour in sparkling water halfway (around 70ml). Top with the shaken mocktail mixture. Serve immediately. Garnish with a fresh strawberry.
