Ingredients

  • 2 cups fresh strawberries, hulled
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 3 cups sparkling lemonade
  • 1 cup ginger ale
  • Fresh mint leaves, for garnish

Instructions

  1. In a blender or food processor, blend the strawberries and sugar until smooth. Strain the mixture through a fine mesh sieve into a jar or bottle, pressing on the solids to extract as much juice as possible. Discard the solids.
  2. Combine the strawberry syrup with sparkling lemonade and ginger ale in a large pitcher. Stir gently to combine.
  3. To serve, fill 6 tall glasses halfway with ice cubes. Pour the mocktail over the ice, leaving enough space for the frothy top.
  4. Garnish each glass with a fresh mint leaf on the rim.
