Ingredients

Main Ingredients

  • Fresh Strawberries – 1 cup, hulled and sliced or roughly chopped
  • Sprite or Lemon-Lime Soda – 1 cup, chilled
  • Fresh Lemon Juice – 2 tablespoons, chilled
  • Simple Syrup (Optional) – 1 to 2 teaspoons, adjust to taste
  • Crushed Ice – As needed to fill the glass
  • Mint Leaves (Optional) – 1 sprig for garnish

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Strawberries: Wash and hull fresh strawberries, then slice or roughly chop them to release their juices and maximize flavor infusion.
  2. Muddle the Berries: Place the chopped strawberries in the bottom of your serving glass or shaker and gently muddle them with a muddler or the back of a spoon until juicy but not completely pureed.
  3. Add Lemon Juice and Simple Syrup: Pour in fresh lemon juice and, if desired, simple syrup to sweeten. Stir gently to combine with the muddled strawberries.
  4. Fill with Ice: Fill the glass with crushed ice to the top to keep the mocktail refreshingly cold and to balance the flavors.
  5. Pour Sprite: Slowly pour chilled Sprite over the ice and strawberry mixture, allowing the fizz to mix naturally with the other ingredients.
  6. Garnish and Serve: Add a sprig of fresh mint or a whole strawberry on the rim for a pop of color and an aromatic touch, then serve immediately.

Notes

  • Use ripe strawberries for maximum natural sweetness and less need for added sugar.
  • Chill all ingredients beforehand to preserve fizz and overall refreshment.
  • Muddle strawberries gently to avoid bitterness from seeds.
  • Adjust sweetness by adding simple syrup gradually to suit your taste.
  • Serve immediately to enjoy the best fizz and flavor experience.
