    With its sweet strawberry flavor and fragrant rosemary twist, this mocktail is sure to be a hit with everyone who tries it.

    This easy-to-make beverage is a crowd-pleaser that's perfect for birthday parties, barbecues, or simply lounging in the sunshine.

    Ingredients

    Ingredients to make a strawberry mocktail including strawberries, rosemary, fresh lemon, bitters, sparkling water, and simple syrup.
    This is what you'll need to make this fruity mocktail with strawberry.
    • Strawberries
    • Rosemary
    • Simple syrup
    • Lemon
    • Sparkling water
    • Bitters
    • Rosewater extract, optional

    Rosewater extract can be found in the spice aisle of better grocery stores. Rosewater extract is more powerful than rose water so make sure you know what you are using. Always use less than you think and taste and adjust.

    To ensure even more rosemary flavor in this drink, make a rosemary simple syrup!

    How to Make this Strawberry Mocktail

    Muddling fresh strawberries and rosemary in a cocktail shaker.

    Step 1

    In a cocktail shaker, muddle the strawberries, lemon juice, rosemary, and simple syrup.

    Step 4

    Top with sparkling water.

    If using the rosewater extract, add it after the sparkling water and give it a stir.

    Step 6

    Stir with a bar spoon (or whatever you have on hand - keep it simple) and garnish with a rosemary sprig.

    Variations

    • Use different fruit - Muddle blueberry, blackberry or even peaches to change up the flavors of this cocktails.
    • Add another layer of flavor - Try a zero-proof liquor alternative (like Ritual gin) to add even more herbal flavor without adding alcohol.
    • Make it a cocktail - Add 1-2 ounces of gin or vodka if you want to make this boozy.

    Tools

    You don't need fancy tools to create delicious cocktails - use what you have! But if you'd like to stock your home bar with new tools, here are a few to help you make this mocktail perfectly every time:

    • cocktail shaker
    • Cocktail Jigger or liquid measuring cup
    • Bar spoon
    • cocktail glass

    Tips

    • You may want to double strain to remove all of the rosemary. I never mind when it ends up in my cocktail.
    • If you don't mind bits and pieces in your drinks, you can also pull in a little bit more of the strawberry from the cocktail shaker into the glass before serving. It gives a little more flavor and color!

    Frequently Asked Questions

    What can replace the alcohol in a mocktail?

    Some of my favorite "replacements" for alcohol are sparkling water as in this recipe, club soda, or ginger ale. Lemon-lime soda is also a good choice. But there are also alcohol alternatives (like Seedlip and Ritual) on the market.

    How do you get more strawberry flavor in this strawberry mocktail?

    While I like the hint of sweet strawberries that come from the muddled pieces, you can also use strawberry simple syrup. It will give TONS more strawberry flavor to the drink and really pretty color.

    Can you make this strawberry mocktail have fewer calories?

    To make this strawberry mocktail have fewer calories, use less simple syrup. Taste the drink without it and add a little bit at a time until you get a more balanced flavor.
