This cocktail is gorgeous and so refreshing. The perfect Spring time drink!

Here’s what you need to do for the MOCKTAIL version of this yummy libation. It’s simple. All you have to do is substitute the tequila with extra sparkling water. Viola! To make the chamomile honey syrup boil 3/4 cup of water, 1/3 cup of honey, and two chamomile bags. Then top it off with one ounce of strawberry puree and garnish with edible flowers and a strawberry. Delicious!!

Cheers, mamas! Hope you have a happy Friday!
