Strawberry Lemonade Mocktail
Tommy introduces the Strawberry Lemonade Mocktail, inspired by his wife's love for flavored sparkling water. The recipe starts with strawberry lemonade sparkling water, combined with mineral water for added hydration. He recommends using a strawberry lime hydration pack to enhance the flavor. Instead of ice, Tommy prefers using frozen fruit like blueberries. The hydration pack takes a little while to mix, but it ultimately creates a delicious and hydrating drink.
