Berry Mocktail

I wanted a special drink for the BF's surprise birthday dinner. He loves fruity, minty drinks (his go-to is a Moscow Mule), so I opted for strawberry and blueberry with mint as our beverage for the evening.

Ingredients

4-5 large, ripe strawberries, stems removed
1-2 handfuls blueberries
2-3 mint leaves
1 tbsp honey
Juice 1/2 lemon
Pinch of salt
40 oz mineral water
Sugar for rim
Lemon slices to dress

Method

01 Add strawberries, blueberries, mint, honey, lemon juice, and salt to blender (Ninja smoothie cups are the perfect size)
02 Blend until smooth; taste test and adjust as needed
03 Strain with fine mesh strainer
04 Stir* into mineral water
05 Rub juiced lemon half along rim of glass then dip the glass in sugar
06 Fill glass with ice to brim
07 Pour berry + mineral water mixture into glass
08 Add slice of lemon** and a straw - serve! *Stirring works, but I usually grab two big cups and pour back-and-forth to mix **If you want it extra fancy, sprinkle a thin layer of sugar on the lemon slice and caramelize with a kitchen torch; do this to both sides
