Ingredients
Here’s what your young mixologist will need:
4 fresh strawberries
½ lime (juiced)
Ice cubes
Ginger beer (non-alcoholic)
Equipment
Small mixing bowl or sturdy glass
Muddler or wooden spoon
Spoon (for stirring)
Cup or glass for serving
Instructions
1. Muddle the Strawberries
Place the strawberries in a small mixing bowl or sturdy glass. Use a muddler or wooden spoon to gently mash them until they become a juicy pulp. Kids will love this part—it’s fun and hands-on!
2. Add the Lime Juice
Squeeze half a lime over the muddled strawberries. Be sure to catch any seeds before they fall in! Stir the mixture to combine.
3. Prepare the Serving Glass
Fill a serving glass with ice cubes. This keeps the drink cool and adds a fun clinking sound when poured.
4. Top with Ginger Beer
Pour the strawberry and lime mixture over the ice. Then, top it off with ginger beer for a fizzy finish. Stir gently to mix everything together.
5. Serve and Enjoy
Your Strawberry Ginger Fizz is ready to enjoy! For a fun touch, garnish with a fresh strawberry or a lime wedge on the rim of the glass.
