- 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.

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.
