- Adjust sugar amount to taste, especially if your strawberries are particularly sweet or tart.
- For a thicker, colder drink, increase the number of ice cubes or use frozen strawberries.
- This recipe serves 4 and is best enjoyed fresh.
- Can be customized by adding a splash of orange zest or a pinch of cinnamon for added flavor depth.
