Method
You can use fresh juices or the Kerns ones. We used the latter and they worked out just great. Blend the strawberries on Pulse for 2-3 times so that they are not entirely liquidised. Fill this in a tall glass. Mix all the remaining ingredients and blend with ice. Fill the glass upto the brim. Garnish with an orange or lemon rind and a sprig of mint. Enjoy with your spouse on a relaxing sunny day settled in your patio chairs (that's what we did), or serve this as a starter drink when you invite your friends.
