Ingredients
Scale
For the Drink
- 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 ensure your drink stays 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 additional ingredients and stirring gently to combine without over-fizzing.
- Add Strawberry Syrup (Optional): If you prefer a sweeter, deeper strawberry flavor, add a tablespoon of strawberry syrup and stir gently to blend all flavors while maintaining carbonation.
- Garnish and Serve: Top the drink with a few whole or sliced fresh strawberries for a beautiful and tasty garnish. Optionally, place a strawberry slice on the glass rim for extra flair. Serve immediately and enjoy!
Notes
- Fresh strawberries can be substituted with frozen ones if fresh are not available, but fresh is recommended for best taste.
- Adjust the amount of strawberry syrup to your taste preference for sweetness.
- For a less sweet version, omit the strawberry syrup entirely.
- Use chilled lemon-lime soda to keep the drink cold for longer without diluting with too much ice.
