🥣 Instructions
Prep the Strawberries
Wash, hull, and slice the strawberries into smaller pieces for easier blending.
Blend
In a blender, combine strawberries, apple juice, cream (or non-dairy milk), and optional sweetener. Blend until smooth and creamy.
Taste & Adjust
Taste the mixture—add more sweetener or strawberries for extra flavor, if needed.
Serve
Add ice cubes to a pitcher or glasses. Pour the punch over the ice and stir gently.
Garnish (Optional)
Top with sliced strawberries, mint leaves, or a twist of lemon for a decorative touch.
💡 Pro Tips
Use chilled ingredients for a cold, refreshing drink without diluting it with too much ice.
For a thicker texture, reduce apple juice or add more strawberries.
Don’t over-sweeten—taste before adding honey or syrup; the natural fruit sugars might be enough.
Serve immediately for the best flavor and consistency.
🍹 Variations to Try
Sparkling Version: Replace half the apple juice with sparkling water or lemon-lime soda.
Minty Fresh: Add a handful of mint leaves to the blender.
Citrus Boost: Add a splash of lemon or lime juice for a zesty twist.
Frozen Option: Use frozen strawberries (partially thawed) for an icy slush texture.
