Cool Off with These Three Sparkling Summer Mocktails

Notes for making sparkling summer mocktails:

• These mocktails aren’t designed to be overly sweet. I recommend using the amount of sweetener listed, tasting it, and then adjusting from there.
• To make these completely free of added sugars, you can replace the sweeteners in the recipes with Stevia drops. As how much to use will vary on personal preference, I recommend making your mocktail of choice and then adding the drops at the end to taste. 
• For the Strawberry Lime Fizz, you can substitute the strawberries with blueberries, blackberries, raspberries, or cherries. 
• For the Sparkling Raspberry Lemonade, feel free to use strawberries, blueberries, or blackberries in place of the raspberries. 
• If you don’t have a muddler, the handle of a large wooden spoon works well. 
• For the Pineapple Mojito Mocktail, you can use frozen pineapple instead of fresh.
