A Strawberry and Raspberry Mocktail Recipe is a fun drink for the summertime and a great alternative to conventional soda.

Conventional sodas often taste great, but unfortunately they’re not very nourishing for the body. As you probably know, sodas today generally consist of processed ingredients such as high fructose corn syrup, caffeine, colorings and flavorings.

“Pure fructose contains no enzymes, vitamins, or minerals and robs the body of its micronutrient treasures in order to assimilate itself for physiological use . . . Research indicates that this free fructose interferes with the heart’s use of key minerals like magnesium, copper and chromium. Among other consequences, HFCS has been implicated in elevated blood cholesterol levels and the creation of blood clots. It has been found to inhibit the action of white blood cells so that they are unable to defend the body against harmful foreign invaders . . . Because it is metabolized by the liver, fructose does not cause the pancreas to release insulin the way it normally does. Fructose converts to fat more than any other sugar. This may be one of the reasons Americans continue to get fatter. Fructose raises serum triglycerides significantly.” Bill Sanda

Yikes! There’s definitely a better way to have a fun, sweet drink without the side effects!

How to Make a Strawberry and Raspberry Mocktail

Place the raspberries, strawberries, lemon, vanilla bean, and honey in a heatproof bowl over a pan of simmering water. Cook until berries have released most of their juices, about 12 minutes.

Strain mixture through a fine sieve, pressing gently with the back of a spoon. Discard the solids. Cool completely. Mixture will keep for one week in the refrigerator.

To serve: Pour 1/4 cup syrup into 4 ice-filled glasses. Top each with 1 cup seltzer. Serve with lemon wedges.

Here are some of my favorite options when I want a cold, fizzy drink, or an alternative to a cocktail:

Kombucha is a great alternative. It contains probiotics, live active enzymes, polyphenols (fights free radicals), glucuronic acid (a powerful detoxifier), and many other nutrients. Some of my favorite brands are GTS Synergy, Kevita and Holy Kombucha. I like to pour kombucha in a wine glass. It makes it feel more fancy. 😊

OlliePop is a soda made with natural ingredients. The root beer flavor is my pick when we want to make some root beer floats!

Jun tea is a fermented tonic made of green tea and honey. Here’s a great recipe. If you do a quick search, you can find all sorts of recipes for fermented sodas!
