While strawberries are beautiful, they are incredibly good for you, too. They are loaded with vitamin C, antioxidants that may help reduce heart disease and they are an excellent source of magnesium, in addition to their incredible flavor.
This recipe is for all those times you want to have a slightly fancy drink but you do not want it to be alcoholic — and when you want to be just a little bit extra. 
It’s also great for entertaining since it is a pretty as it is delicious. I am definitely having one this Sunday at my Mother’s Day Brunch.
