How was the weekend!?

I hope you were able to enjoy some relaxation and fun 🙂

Today is a fun day because it’s Recipe Redux Day!

If you are new to the blog – Recipe Redux Day comes once a month.  It is a recipe challenge founded by registered dietitians that focuses on taking delicious dishes and keeping the flavor while bumping up the nutritional quality.  Each month we have a theme to follow to help guide our recipe reduxing, and this months theme is….mocktails and cocktails!

Mocktails and Cocktails for May Celebrations – Showers and celebrations abound this time of year. Show us your colorful drink concoctions for festivities with friends.

When I think of “summer drinks” a particular drink comes to mind that my mom and I used to make all the time in the warmer months!  We would fill a glass with ice cubes, then add in plain sparkling water.  We would top it off with a splash of 100% cranberry juice and then squeeze in lots of lime.  SO refreshing!

Instructions

1. Place the frozen strawberries in a microwave safe bowl. Microwave on the defrost setting until the strawberries are thawed but still cold.
2. If you don’t have a microwave, place the strawberries in a sauce pan and melt over medium heat. Stir occasionally. Remove from heat once the strawberries are soft and slightly thawed but still cold.
3. Add the lemon juice to the strawberries (and sugar if using) and blend all together with an immersion blender, traditional blender, or food processor. The strawberries should be mashed and slightly slushy.
4. Pour about 1/4 cup of the strawberry mixture into each cup and top with either 1 cup sparkling water or 1/2 cup sparkling water and 1/2 cup prosecco.
5. You could also pour all of the strawberry mixture into a pitcher and top with 8 cups of sparkling water to serve at a party.

Notes

*If you want to make an adult version – 4 cups sparkling water and 4 cups prosecco
