Dip the rim of each glass in a little water then immediately into Citrus Fresh sugar to coat rim of glass.
Fill each glass with ice and 3 lime rounds; fill each glass with your mocktail mix.
Garnish with a sprinkle chopped strawberries.
Simple Syrup Ingredients
2 cups sugar
2 cups water
2 cups strawberries, chopped, and pulsed 2-4 times in the blender.
7 drops Citrus Fresh Vitality essential oil
Instructions
In a pot, bring sugar, water, and strawberries to a boil over medium heat. Once the sugar is completely dissolved, remove from heat.
Pour mixture through a fine mesh strainer to separate the liquid syrup from strawberries.
Once the syrup is room temperature, add your Vitality essential oil and stir. Personally, I love to keep my simple syrup in little mason jars, so you can always just pop the lid on a give it a good shake to mix the essential oil in.
Beverage Ingredients
4 cups lemon-lime seltzer water
3/4 cup strawberry simple syrup (recipe below)
1/4 cup fresh lime juice
Glass Rim & Garnish Ingredients
6 drops Citrus Fresh Vitality essential oil
1/2 cup sugar
Chopped strawberries and lime slices for garnish
You can also use regular lemon-lime soda in place of the seltzer water or opt for 1/2 cup each of the seltzer and lemon-lime soda, depending on desired sweetness.
