Add this Strawberry Sour Mocktail to your weekly mocktail rotation for a tart and mildly sweet beverage. We added fancy ice cubes with fruit in them that are sure to be a crowd pleaser.
The ice cubes are made with pomegranate seeds for the final touch in this Strawberry Sour Mocktail. Not only do they have an appealing crunchy texture, but pomegranate seeds provide many health benefits. Pomegranates contain tons of antioxidants that are great for reducing inflammation in the body.
We recommend using a cocktail shaker to mix all your non-sparkling ingredients for the best results. However, if you don’t have a cocktail shaker, a mason jar with an airtight lid works just as well. And if you find yourself without a muddler, don’t worry—you can use a fork or even a potato masher to create the puree in a pinch. These simple swaps ensure you can still craft a delicious mocktail with the tools you have in your kitchen.
