It is typically served in a margarita glass. In contrast, a virgin daiquiri consists of fruit, simple syrup (or sometimes maple syrup), lime juice and occasionally a sparkling soda like 7Up or Sprite, or a nonalcoholic rum. This drink is served in a cocktail glass.Also known as agave syrup or maguey syrup, it’s a sweetener that’s made from the blue agave plant. It’s high in fructose and much sweeter than regular sugar, so a little goes a long way.For the best results, we suggest using frozen strawberries. That’s because they are convenient and easier to blend, and they make a nice, cold drink. But you can use fresh strawberries if you want. We would suggest freezing them before making the mocktail.Serve them with guacamole and warm tortilla chips, fish, chicken or tofutacos, grilled shrimp salad or a skewer of ourHot Honey Grilled Shrimp.EatingWell.com, March 2019

Nutrition Facts(per serving)
- Daily Values (DVs) are the recommended amounts of nutrients to consume each day. Percent Daily Value (%DV) found on nutrition labels tells you how much a serving of a particular food or recipe contributes to each of those total recommended amounts. Per the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), the daily value is based on a standard 2,000 calorie diet. Depending on your calorie needs or if you have a health condition, you may need more or less of particular nutrients. (For example, it’s recommended that people following a heart-healthy diet eat less sodium on a daily basis compared to those following a standard diet.)
