celebrate dry January with a mocktail

 

The second week in January is also known as National Mocktail Week. This week recognizes the choice of those that choose not to drink alcohol for whatever reason. Mocktails are drinks that offers that would rather have alcohol the same fun with a alcohol free substitution. One of the favorites out there is a strawberry daiquiri. While it omits the rum it replaces it with more citrus. 

• 12 ounces (2 cups) frozen strawberries
• 3 tablespoons lime juice, fresh squeezed
• 1 cup  lemon lime soda (Sprite), plus more for serving
• 1/2 to 3/4 cup water
• 1 cup ice
• 
  
• Place all ingredients in a blender and blend until a smooth, thick puree forms, adding just enough water and stopping and scraping as necessary. (All blenders are different, so start at the low end of the water and work up.)If desired, serve with a small splash of lemon lime soda in each glass (this can make a more drinkable texture, depending on how much liquid you use). Garnish with fresh strawberries and lime wheels, if desired.
