Ingredients
Base Ingredients
- 1 cup Sprite (lemon-lime soda)
- 2 tbsp strawberry syrup
- 1 tsp fresh lime juice
- 1/2 cup crushed ice
Garnishes
- 4-5 fresh strawberries, sliced and whole for garnish
Optional
- 1 oz vodka or rum (optional, for alcoholic version)
Instructions
- Prepare the Glass: Fill a tall glass with crushed ice to chill the drink thoroughly.
- Add Base Liquids: Pour 1 cup of Sprite over the crushed ice, then add 2 tablespoons of strawberry syrup and 1 teaspoon of fresh lime juice.
- Mix Gently: Stir the mixture gently to combine all ingredients without losing the carbonation of the soda.
- Garnish: Add sliced fresh strawberries into the drink and use whole strawberries to garnish the rim or top of the glass for visual appeal.
- Optional Alcohol Addition: If desired, add a splash (about 1 oz) of vodka or rum and stir gently to incorporate it evenly.
- Serve: Let the drink chill for about a minute to meld the flavors, then serve immediately with a straw.
Notes
- Use fresh lime juice for a brighter, more natural citrus flavor.
- Try substituting Sprite with any lemon-lime soda to slightly vary the flavor.
- Add fresh mint leaves for an extra refreshing twist.
- To reduce sweetness, decrease the amount of strawberry syrup and increase the lime juice accordingly.
