Scale
Main 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 Strawberries: Wash the strawberries thoroughly and slice them into thin pieces. For a stronger strawberry flavor, muddle a few slices in the glass to release their juices before adding other ingredients.
- Add Ice: Fill your glass about halfway with ice cubes to keep the drink refreshingly cold.
- Pour Soda: Pour the lemon-lime soda over the ice, leaving some room at the top for additional ingredients.
- Mix in Strawberry Syrup: Add a tablespoon of strawberry syrup for a richer strawberry flavor and stir gently to combine the flavors.
- Garnish: Add a few whole strawberries on top for garnish. Optionally, place a sliced strawberry on the rim of the glass for an extra pop of color.
- Serve: Serve immediately and enjoy!
Notes
- For a less sweet version, omit the strawberry syrup.
- Use fresh lemon-lime soda for the best flavor and carbonation.
- Chill the glass beforehand to keep the drink colder longer.
- Muddling strawberries enhances natural flavor without adding extra sugar.
- This recipe can be easily doubled or tripled for parties.
