5 from 18 reviews

Strawberry Dirty Sprite is a refreshing and vibrant lemon-lime soda-based drink enhanced with sweet strawberry syrup, fresh strawberries, and a splash of lime juice. Ideal for a cooling beverage on warm days, it can be enjoyed as a non-alcoholic treat or given a boozy twist with vodka or rum for adults.

Ingredients

Scale

Base

  • 1 cup Sprite (lemon-lime soda)

Flavorings

  • 2 tablespoons strawberry syrup
  • 1 tablespoon fresh lime juice
  • 45 fresh strawberries, sliced

Others

  • 1 cup crushed ice
  • Optional: 1-2 ounces vodka or rum

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Glass: Fill a tall glass with crushed ice to ensure the drink stays chilled and refreshing.
  2. Add Base and Flavorings: Pour 1 cup of Sprite over the crushed ice, followed by 2 tablespoons of strawberry syrup and 1 tablespoon of fresh lime juice.
  3. Mix Gently: Stir the mixture gently using a spoon or straw to combine the ingredients while maintaining the soda’s carbonation.
  4. Garnish: Add 4-5 slices of fresh strawberries on top or inside the drink for enhanced fruitiness and visual appeal.
  5. Add Alcohol (Optional): For an adult version, pour in 1 to 2 ounces of vodka or rum and stir lightly to incorporate.
  6. Chill and Serve: Let the drink sit for a minute to blend flavors, then serve immediately with a straw.

Notes

  • Use fresh lime juice for the best balance of sweetness and tartness.
  • Adjust the amount of strawberry syrup according to your preferred sweetness level.
  • Crushed ice helps to keep the drink cold longer and slightly dilutes it over time for a mellow taste.
  • The alcoholic option is optional and can be omitted for a family-friendly version.
  • Fresh strawberries not only garnish but also impart a subtle fruity aroma and flavor.
