Strawberry Mojito Sparkling Water
This Strawberry Mojito Sparkling Water is a light refreshing mocktail that is perfect for summer.
I love water, I prefer it over other drinks, so when we began to cut sodas out of our life it wasn’t hard for me. MG on the other hand missed having something bubbly to drink. Enter sparkling water. It has become the #1 drink on our house. We no longer buy soda, except on that rare special occasion, and MG hasn’t looked back.
One of the things we like most about sparkling water is all of the different flavors it comes in. Lime, pink grapefruit, and coconut, are some of his favorite flavors in general and Vintage uses only 2 ingredients, carbonated water, and natural flavors. Those “natural flavors” may be an essence, extract or oil from the actual fruit that is listed on the label and they give the water a clean, fresh, taste.
We still like to play around with flavors and add some of our own to the sparkling water. Last weekend I had some freshly picked strawberries from the farmer’s market, and mint from my garden so we made ourselves a Strawberry Mojito mocktail, using lime flavored Vintage sparkling water.
Sparkling water is carbonated so we couldn’t infuse the water with flavor by letting it sit for a few hours, or overnight. Instead we filled a glass with some mint leaves and strawberries, then crushed them, bruising the leaves and breaking up the fruit to let the flavors out.
We filled the cup with ice and then poured the lime sparkling water over it. I added a few slices of strawberries and some lime, then garnished the whole thing with a fresh strawberry and mint. The drink tasted just as good as it looks!

Ooh this look so refreshing! Stopping by from the Friday hop, come say hi!
I’m here from flaunt it friday. I just recently decided to take a month off from drinking alcohol and I struggled for a few days before I found fizzy water….I was drinking way too much soda! Thanks for sharing this recipe, I can’t wait to try it out! I have been buying lacroix but I’ll definitely check and see if they have the Vintage brand next time I’m at the store!
I hope you find it they say the bubbles in their sparkling water (verses their seltzer water) are “softer” and as weird as it sounds I can totally tell the difference. It is my favorite brand so far!
I love recipes like this….the freshness just jumps out the page. I can imagine myself sipping on this whilst relaxing in the sun!
Thanks for linking up to Marvelous Monday on Smart Party Planning.
This is what I think of when I think “summer.” I happen to have a little lime sparking water on hand, along with strawberries and mint.
This is SO happening right now!
Of course I’m choosing this delectable drink as my feature for this week’s Thank Goodness It’s Thursday link party. You gals amaze me!
This looks so refreshing and perfect for summertime! Thanks so much for sharing your yummy recipe on the Monday Funday Party!
This looks yummy looking forward to try it. Would be a great treat on the weekend to help cool off in the evening.
I love a good mojito! Yum this sounds like I’ll have to give it a try and soon. I bet it’s very refreshing.
