Ingredients

Scale

Base Ingredients

  • 1 cup Sprite (lemon-lime soda)
  • 1 tablespoon strawberry syrup
  • 1 teaspoon fresh lime juice
  • 1/2 cup crushed ice

Garnish

  • 45 fresh strawberry slices

Optional Alcohol

  • 1 ounce vodka or rum (optional)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the glass: Fill a tall glass with crushed ice to chill and create a refreshing base for the drink.
  2. Add the soda and flavorings: Pour 1 cup of Sprite over the ice, then add 1 tablespoon of strawberry syrup and 1 teaspoon of fresh lime juice to balance the sweetness with a citrusy tang.
  3. Mix gently: Stir the mixture gently using a spoon to combine the flavors without losing the soda’s carbonation, keeping the drink fizzy and refreshing.
  4. Garnish: Add 4-5 fresh strawberry slices on top as a garnish to enhance the fruity flavor and visual appeal.
  5. Add alcohol (optional): If desired, pour a splash (about 1 ounce) of vodka or rum into the drink and stir lightly to incorporate for an adult version of this mocktail.
  6. Chill and serve: Allow the drink to chill for a minute, then serve with a straw for an enjoyable sipping experience.

Notes

  • Use crushed ice to keep the drink properly chilled and maximize the refreshing effect.
  • Adjust the amount of strawberry syrup to your taste preference for sweetness.
  • Fresh lime juice is preferred over bottled for the best flavor balance.
  • For a non-alcoholic version, omit the vodka or rum.
  • The drink is best served immediately to maintain carbonation and freshness.
