Notes

To get the most out of your Strawberry Lime Mocktail Margarita, always opt for fresh-squeezed lime juice rather than the bottled variety, as the acidity is much brighter. If your strawberries are not at peak ripeness, you may need to add a bit more honey or agave to balance the tartness of the lime.
