Summer is really here now. I know because it’s Wimbledon and it’s my birthday in a few days’ time. But not only that, it’s actually very warm and has been for a while. It’s important to remain hydrated in hot weather and having a few delicious drink recipes on hand helps. This strawberry rose mint fizz cooler recipe is ideal for the occasion.

Why This Strawberry Fizz Recipe Works

  • Makes the most of fresh strawberries – The strawberries provide the main fruity flavour and give the drink its beautiful colour.
  • Rose adds a delicate floral note – A little rose syrup adds sweetness and complements the strawberries without overpowering their fresh flavour.
  • Mint keeps it refreshing – Fresh mint adds a lovely cooling note that works particularly well with strawberries and rose.
  • Sparkling water brings everything together – It lightens the fruit mixture and gives the drink its refreshing fizz.
  • Not overly sweet – The natural sweetness of the strawberries does most of the work, so the drink remains fresh and easy to drink.
  • It’s quick and simple to make – There’s no complicated preparation, though a power blender helps.
  • It’s naturally non-alcoholic – So it’s suitable for family gatherings and gives everyone a festive drink to enjoy.
  • Ideal for summer entertaining – You can make the strawberry mixture ahead of time, then add ice and sparkling water when you’re ready to serve.

Strawberry Rose Mint Fizz

When I’m really hot, I like to drink something that’s sightly tart. I find a few drops of apple cider vinegar in a glass of water works really well. More recently I’ve been using my kombucha vinegar to the same effect.

It’s always nice to ring the changes though and to have something special on hand for guests or visitors. When I saw this post for raspberry and mint frosé over at Feeding Boys, it made me so thirsty, I immediately rushed off to create this strawberry rose mint fizz cooler. No alcohol needed.

My strawberry rose mint fizz isn’t alcoholic. Everyone, including children can drink this in complete confidence. However, if the desire is there, a slug of gin would make a very nice addition. It’s simple and quick to make and very refreshing. The strawberry hit is as good as a Wimbledon grand slam. It’s quite delightful with subtle undertones of fragrant rose, fresh mint and cooling ice. I’m just glad it’s not me on Centre Court.

I make my own rose syrup. It’s very easy if you have access to unsprayed deep scented roses. I used my fabulous power blender which blitzed the strawberries, mint and ice in seconds.

Top Tip – If you don’t have a power blender, use whatever you have to blend the strawberries, mint and rose syrup together. Strain the mixture through a sieve for a smooth purée then mix with ice and sparkling water when you’re ready to serve.

  1. happy birthday – I think this drink would be a lovely birthday drink – perfect for sitting out in the garden and enjoying the sunshine (hope there is sunshine). We are so into our lemonade that we make it quite often – I think I should try strawberries in it when summer is here again – though I am not sure I will have rose syrup but perhaps rosewater.

    1. Ah yes homemade lemonade. That’s possibly the best summer drink ever. It’s always good to have a bit of variety I find and rose and strawberry go very nicely together.

  2. I have just had to open a bottle of my Blueberry fizz over the sink as it exploded! Reckon your lovely recipe could be adapted using whey and lacto-fermenting to make the bubbles? It only takes a couple of days in the summer. I use the whey from my kefir…

  3. oh my lord I want a giant glass of this right now… it looks so refreshing. I will be adding vodka to mine if that’s acceptable? D xx
