Strawberries – We chop up whole strawberries and muddle them in the bottom of the glass. Make sure to use fresh strawberries for the best flavor.
Fresh mint leaves – These get muddled in with the strawberries for a refreshing twist.
Brandy – Adds an oaky, subtle, sweet flavor to balance out the zingy flavor from the lemon juice and the freshness of the mint leaves.
Lemon juice – Adds a pop of freshness and tanginess to compliment the strawberries. Fresh lemon juice is best.
Simple syrup – Gives a pop of sweetness without overlaying the drink. You could also use honey if you like.

Recipe FAQs

Yes! This is the perfect drink to make without alcohol, as its flavors work perfectly even without brandy. We love using club soda, tonic water, ginger ale, ginger beer, or swapping the lemon juice for lemonade to make this recipe a non-alcoholic drink.

Since we’re using in-season strawberries, we recommend making this drink during the summer.

Absolutely! If strawberries aren’t your thing, you can swap them out for another in-season berry. Blueberries, blackberries, or raspberries would be great options!

Muddling releases flavor and aroma that you can’t get by simply plopping the strawberries and mint straight into the drink. With muddling, the strawberries release their sweetness and juices, while the mint releases a refreshing aroma into the drink.
