Combine strawberries, fresh basil, lime juice, coconut water and honey in a blender. Blend on high speed for 10 seconds or until smooth.
Rim a copper mug or lowball glass with a little honey or lime and gently press into margarita salt, cane, or coconut sugar. (optional)
Fill the glass with ice, add a shot of the spirit-free alcohol, top with the strawberry basil mixture, and mix. Garnish with a sprig of fresh basil and some frozen grated jalapeno, if using for a little kick! Serve and enjoy!

Notes

*Makes approximately 4 beverages, but it depends on the size of your glass, number of ice cubes, ect. Frozen Jalapeno. (optional) Freeze a whole jalapeno for at least 2 hours. After assembling the drink, use a microplane-style grater and grate some jalapeno over the top. Adds a nice, spicy kick! (and it looks pretty) Lime Juice. You can use fresh or good-quality bottled lime juice. I use this bottled organic lime juice to make it easy. You can find quality bottled lime juice at your local grocery store. Honey. How much is up to you! I add a tablespoon for a touch of sweetness, you can add more if desired. You can leave it out altogether if you want. Spirit-free alcohol. I use the spirit-free tequila for a margarita-style mocktail, but spirit-free gin works well too! You can use more coconut water, club soda, or flavored sparkling water if you don't want to use spirit-free alcohol.
