A glass of sugar-free sparkling strawberry limeade is a summer thirst-quencher! With hints of fresh cucumber and lime and lots of bubbles, this strawberry-lime mocktail is a refreshing drink for hot summer days!
Wash and hull strawberries and place them in a blender.
Peel and chop cucumber and add to blender.
Add sweetener and ½ cup water to the blender.
Add lime zest and lime juice and blend until very smooth. If you're not using a high-speed blender, you may have to strain the strawberry mixture through a fine sieve to remove any small pieces of strawberry.
Refrigerate until ready to serve, then add 5 cups of sparkling water (or plain water) and serve over ice. Garnish with a strawberry, a slice of lime and/or a sprig of mint.
Notes
Store the strawberry-lime purée in a glass container with a lid in the fridge. It will last for several days. I haven't tried freezing the purée yet, but it should freeze beautifully!
