Ingredients
Main Ingredients
- Fresh strawberries – 8 to 10 ripe, juicy berries
- Sprite soda – 1 cup (chilled)
- Lemon juice – 1 tablespoon freshly squeezed
- Simple syrup – 1 tablespoon (optional, adjust to taste)
- Ice cubes – as needed
- Mint leaves – 1 sprig for garnish
Instructions
- Prepare the strawberries: Wash and hull fresh strawberries, then slice them thinly to release maximum flavor. Muddle a few slices at the bottom of your glass or mixing container to create a juicy base.
- Add lemon juice and simple syrup: Pour in freshly squeezed lemon juice along with the simple syrup if using, and stir gently to combine with the muddled strawberries, enhancing the brightness and sweetness.
- Fill with ice: Add plenty of ice cubes to your glass to keep the mocktail refreshingly cold as you assemble the rest of the drink.
- Pour in Sprite: Slowly pour chilled Sprite over the ice and strawberry mixture, allowing the bubbles to mingle with the fresh flavors, creating that signature fizz.
- Garnish and serve: Top with a sprig of fresh mint and a thin strawberry slice on the rim for an eye-catching finish. Serve immediately to enjoy the perfectly fizzy, fruity flavor.
Notes
- Use ripe strawberries for the sweetest, juiciest flavor.
- Chill all ingredients beforehand to keep the drink crisp and refreshing longer.
- Gently muddle strawberries to avoid bitterness and maintain a clear liquid.
- Adjust sweetness with simple syrup depending on strawberry ripeness and personal preference.
- Serve immediately after preparation to retain the fizzy carbonation.
