Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1.5 cups cranberry juice
- 1 cup fresh strawberries
- 1 cup sparkling water
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 1 cup ice cubes
- 4 leaves fresh mint leaves
- 4 slices strawberry slices (for garnish)
Instructions
Wash the fresh strawberries thoroughly and remove the green tops.
In a blender, combine the strawberries, cranberry juice, lemon juice, and honey. Blend until smooth.
Take a fine-mesh sieve and strain the blended mixture into a large jug or bowl to remove any seeds or pulp. Discard the solids left in the sieve.
Add sparkling water to the strained mixture and stir to combine.
Fill two tall glasses with ice cubes, then pour the cranberry and strawberry mixture over the ice, leaving a little room at the top of the glass.
Gently bruise the fresh mint leaves by clapping them between your palms to release their aroma, then add two leaves to each glass.
Garnish with a slice of strawberry on the rim of each glass for a decorative touch.
Serve immediately with a straw and enjoy your refreshing Cranberry and Strawberry Cooler.
