Ingredients
Fruit
- 1 cup fresh strawberries, sliced
Beverage Base
- 2 cups lemon-lime soda (like Sprite or 7UP)
Add-Ins
- 1 cup ice cubes
- 1 tablespoon strawberry syrup (optional for extra sweetness)
Garnish
- Fresh strawberries for garnish
Instructions
- Prepare the Strawberries: Wash the strawberries thoroughly, then slice them into thin pieces. For an intensified strawberry flavor, lightly muddle a few slices in your glass to release their juices before continuing.
- Add Ice: Fill your glass about halfway with ice cubes. This will keep your Strawberry Sprite perfectly chilled.
- Pour Soda: Gently pour the lemon-lime soda over the ice, making sure to leave some space at the top for the remaining ingredients and easy mixing.
- Add Strawberry Syrup: If you prefer a sweeter drink and a richer berry flavor, add a tablespoon of strawberry syrup. Stir gently to mix everything together without losing the fizz.
- Garnish and Serve: Top your drink with a few whole strawberries for a festive garnish. For extra flair, place a sliced strawberry on the rim of the glass. Serve immediately and enjoy the fresh, fruity flavors!
Notes
- For an alcohol-free mocktail, this drink is perfect as is—just stick to fresh ingredients.
- Use frozen strawberries if fresh are unavailable; they’ll double as flavor and chilling agents.
- Adjust the sweetness by adding more or less strawberry syrup to taste.
- Try using club soda and a splash of fresh lemon juice for a less sweet, lower-calorie version.
