Ingredients

Scale
  • 1/2 cup fresh strawberries, sliced
  • 12 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
  • 12 tablespoons honey or maple syrup (adjust to taste)
  • 1 cup sparkling water or club soda
  • Ice cubes, as needed
  • Optional garnish: fresh mint leaves, basil leaves, cucumber slices, or lemon twists

Instructions

  1. Add sliced strawberries to a sturdy glass.
  2. Gently muddle the strawberries to release their juices.

  4. Fill a serving glass with ice cubes.
  5. Pour the strawberry mixture into the glass, filling it halfway.
  6. Top with sparkling water or club soda.
  7. Stir gently to combine while preserving carbonation.
  8. Garnish with mint, basil, or a lemon twist and serve immediately.

Notes

  • Use ripe, seasonal strawberries for the best natural sweetness.
  • Add sparkling water just before serving to keep the drink fizzy.
  • Adjust lemon juice and sweetener gradually to balance flavors.
  • You can prepare the fruit base up to 24 hours in advance and refrigerate.
  • For a sugar-free version, use a sugar-free sweetener or omit sweetener if fruit is sweet enough.
