Strawberry Vanilla Spritz Mocktail

Vanilla and strawberry are a match made in flavor heaven. Clearly, OLIPOP® gets it — their Strawberry Vanilla Sparkling Tonic takes this combo and perfects it with real strawberry juice, fresh lemon and pink rock salt. The result is a delightful beverage that’s reminiscent of cream soda, the kind you sipped as a kid on the beach or at your favorite greasy spoon restaurant. Naturally sweet and balanced, it’s also the perfect mixer for our Strawberry Vanilla Spritz Mocktail.


We add fresh mint, basil, strawberries and lime juice to the sparkling tonic, giving it mellow mojito vibes. It’s a refreshing and simple mocktail that screams summer. It will bring plenty of brightness and a pretty dark pink pinch of pizazz to your patio gatherings and warm-weather parties. Or if you’re having one of those rainy afternoons and need a reminder that summer sunshine is somewhere on the horizon, this spritz is your ticket to daydreaming bliss.
