Looking for a refreshing drink to enjoy sans alcohol? These two healthy summer sparkling mocktails are made with fresh fruit, lightly sweetened, and alcohol-free, making them perfect for the whole family.

Notes for making sparkling summer mocktails:

• These mocktails aren’t designed to be overly sweet. Use the amount of sweetener listed, tasting, and then adjusting from there.
• To make these completely free of added sugars, you can replace the sweeteners in the recipes with Stevia drops. As how much to use will vary on personal preference, I recommend making your mocktail of choice and then adding the drops at the end to taste. 
• For the Strawberry Lime Fizz, you can sub out the strawberries with blueberries, blackberries, raspberries, or cherries. 
• For the Sparkling Raspberry Lemonade, feel free to use strawberries, blueberries, or black berries in place of the raspberries. 
• If you don’t have a muddler, the handle of a large wooden spoon works well. 

Healthy Summer Mocktails

Ingredients for the Strawberry Lime Fizz

• 1 ½ pounds fresh strawberries, washed and sliced
• ⅓ cup water
• 2 tablespoons maple syrup
• Juice of 2 limes
• 32-ounces of lime-flavored sparkling water
• Ice (crushed ice if possible)

Ingredients for the Sparkling Raspberry Lemonade

• Juice of 3 lemons (meyer lemons will be sweeter than regular)
• 30 raspberries (not quite a full pint)
• 32-ounces of plain sparkling water
• 1 tablespoon cane sugar or honey
• Ice

Instructions for the Strawberry Lime Fizz

1. Place strawberries and water in a small saucepan over high heat. Bring to a boil, cover, and reduce heat to a low simmer. Simmer for 15 minutes.
2. Remove pan from heat and allow to cool for 5 minutes. Drain any liquid out and pour strawberries into a food processor or blender. Add maple syrup and lime juice, blend until smooth.
3. Add a few tablespoons of the strawberry mixture into each glass and add ice. Fill glasses with sparkling water. Stir and adjust sweetness as needed.

Instructions for the Sparkling Raspberry Lemonade

1. Place about 4-5 raspberries in the bottom of each glass. Add juice of ½ a lemon and ½ teaspoon of sugar. Using a muddler or handle of a wooden spoon, smash fruit until it’s broken down and almost jam-like. 
2. Add ice to each glass and fill with sparkling water. Adjust sweetness as needed.
