  • Total Time: 5 minutes
  • Yield: 2 drinks

Ingredients

Liquid Ingredients

  • 2 cups lemonade
  • ¼ cup black cherry juice
  • ¼ cup grapefruit juice
  • 1 tablespoon agave syrup
  • 1 can (12 ounces) flavored seltzer water

Garnish

  • 2 to 3 strawberries (for making heart-shaped garnish)
  • Ice cubes (as desired)

Instructions

  1. Combine Base Ingredients: In a large glass, pour 2 cups of lemonade, ¼ cup black cherry juice, ¼ cup grapefruit juice, and 1 tablespoon of agave syrup together.
  2. Mix Well: Use a frother or whisk to mix the liquid ingredients thoroughly, incorporating a bit of air for a light texture and ensuring the agave syrup dissolves completely.
  3. Divide Mixture: Pour the mixed base evenly into two separate glasses.
  4. Top with Seltzer: Carefully pour the 12-ounce can of flavored seltzer over the lemonade mixture in each glass to add fizz and refreshment.
  5. Prepare Strawberry Hearts: Slice the strawberries in half and use a small heart-shaped cookie cutter to cut out heart shapes from each half.
  6. Garnish Glasses: Skewer the heart-shaped strawberry pieces onto toothpicks and place one on the rim of each glass.
  7. Add Ice and Serve: Add a few ice cubes to each glass to chill the drink, then serve immediately and enjoy your Love Potion mocktail.

Notes

  • Using a frother to mix the ingredients adds lightness and aerates the drink, but stirring with a spoon also works.
  • Feel free to use any flavored seltzer you prefer to customize the taste.
  • Heart-shaped strawberry garnishes can be substituted with whole strawberries if you don’t have a cookie cutter.
  • This mocktail is best enjoyed fresh to preserve the fizzy texture of the seltzer.
  • Adjust the agave sweetness to your taste preference or substitute with honey or simple syrup.
