A fresh, fruity, sugar-free spritzer made with GUDGU Strawberry — perfect for braais, weekends, and “I just want something lekker” moments.
If you want a drink that tastes like summer but takes two minutes to make, you’re in the right place. This Strawberry Spritzer is bright, bubbly, and ridiculously easy — no shakers, no fancy syrups, no drama.
It’s also a solid “everyone can drink this” option: kids, grown-ups, health-conscious friends, and the person who always ends up with plain water. 😅
Why you’ll love this mocktail
- Quick + crowd-pleasing (weekends, braais, birthdays, midweek treats)
- Alcohol-free, but still feels “special”
- Easy to scale up for a jug
- Sugar-free friendly (depending on the mixer you use)
What you’ll need
Serving Size: 1 Glass
- Ice
- GUDGU Strawberry cordial (mixed 1:6, or to taste)
- 150–200ml sparkling water or soda water
- A squeeze of fresh lime or lemon (optional, but highly recommended)
- Fresh strawberries (optional garnish)
- Mint or basil leaves (optional — both work surprisingly well)
Optional “Fancy” add-ons
- A splash of sugar-free lemonade (for a sweeter spritz)
- A few frozen strawberries (acts like ice + looks great)
- A tiny pinch of salt (flavour pop — trust us)
- A dash of vanilla essence (like… 1 drop — dessert vibes)
Let’s Make It!
- Fill a glass with ice.
- Add GUDGU Strawberry (start small — you can always add more).
- Top with sparkling/soda water.
- Add a squeeze of lime/lemon if using.
- Stir gently and garnish with berries + mint/basil.
Tip: If you like it stronger, go a bit richer than 1:6. If you like it lighter, stick to 1:6 (or slightly more diluted).
Make it a Jug
For a 1–1.5L jug:
- Add lots of ice
- Add GUDGU Strawberry to taste (start with the 1:6 guideline)
- Top with sparkling water
- Add sliced strawberries + lemon/lime slices + mint/basil
- Stir gently
This one looks proper on a table — and you can keep topping it up as people “just want one more glass”.
Serving Ideas
- Kids’ parties: serve in small cups with strawberry slices
- Braais & weekends: sparkling water + lime + mint = crisp and refreshing
- Health-focused days: soda water + lime keeps it light
- Mocktail bar: set out fruit + herbs + sparkling water so everyone can DIY
