Wash the strawberries thoroughly and remove the stems.
In a blender, combine the strawberries, honey, lemon juice, and cold water. Blend until smooth.
Strain the strawberry mixture through a fine mesh sieve into a bowl to remove seeds, pressing gently with a spoon. Set aside the strained strawberry puree.
Fill two tall glasses halfway with ice cubes.
Pour 3/4 cup of orange juice into each glass over the ice.
Slowly pour the strawberry puree over the orange juice in each glass to create a layered effect.
Garnish each glass with fresh mint leaves and serve immediately. Stir before drinking, if desired.
