Scale
Ingredients
- 1 cup fresh strawberries, sliced
- 2 cups lemon-lime soda (like Sprite or 7UP)
- 1 cup ice cubes
- 1 tablespoon strawberry syrup (optional, for extra sweetness)
- Fresh strawberries for garnish
Instructions
- Prepare the Strawberries: Wash the strawberries thoroughly under cold water, then slice them into thin pieces. For a more intense strawberry flavor, muddle a few slices directly in your glass to release their juices before adding the other ingredients.
- Add Ice: Fill your glass about halfway with ice cubes to keep your drink refreshingly cold and crisp.
- Pour the Lemon-Lime Soda: Slowly pour the lemon-lime soda over the ice, leaving some space at the top for the remaining ingredients and to avoid over-fizzing when stirring.
- Add Strawberry Syrup (Optional): If you prefer a sweeter, deeper strawberry taste, add a tablespoon of strawberry syrup. Stir gently to combine all the flavors without losing carbonation.
- Garnish and Serve: Top the drink with a few whole or sliced fresh strawberries for a colorful garnish. Optionally, place a strawberry slice on the rim of the glass for extra flair. Serve immediately and enjoy!
Notes
- Use fresh, ripe strawberries for the best flavor.
- Muddling strawberries releases more flavor but can make the drink slightly cloudy.
- Adjust the amount of strawberry syrup to suit your sweetness preference.
- Serve immediately to preserve carbonation.
- Can be easily doubled or tripled for larger servings.
