Scale
Main Ingredients
- 1 cup fresh strawberries, sliced
- 2 cups lemon-lime soda (like Sprite or 7UP)
- 1 cup ice cubes
- 1 tablespoon strawberry syrup (optional for extra sweetness)
- Fresh strawberries for garnish
Instructions
- Prepare strawberries: Wash the strawberries thoroughly and slice them into thin pieces. To enhance the strawberry flavor, muddle a few slices in the glass to release their juices before combining other ingredients.
- Add ice: Fill your glass about halfway with ice cubes to ensure the drink stays refreshingly cold throughout.
- Pour soda: Carefully pour the lemon-lime soda over the ice, leaving some space at the top of the glass for additional ingredients.
- Add strawberry syrup: If desired, add a tablespoon of strawberry syrup to the glass for a richer and sweeter strawberry flavor. Stir gently to blend the flavors evenly.
- Garnish: Place a few whole strawberries on top of the drink as garnish and optionally add a sliced strawberry on the rim of the glass to enhance the presentation.
- Serve: Serve the Strawberry Dirty Sprite immediately to enjoy its fresh and fizzy taste.
Notes
- For a more natural sweetness, you can skip the strawberry syrup and rely on fresh strawberries alone.
- Muddling the strawberries at the bottom of the glass intensifies the flavor and makes the drink more aromatic.
- Use chilled lemon-lime soda and ice cubes for best refreshment.
- This recipe can be easily doubled or tripled for more servings.
