Main Ingredients
- Fresh Strawberries: 1 cup, hulled and sliced or lightly mashed
- Sprite Soda: 1 cup, chilled
- Lime Juice: 1 tablespoon, freshly squeezed
- Sugar or Simple Syrup: 1-2 teaspoons (optional, based on sweetness preference)

- Prepare the Strawberries: Wash and hull fresh strawberries. Then, slice or lightly mash them to release their juices and natural sweetness, which are crucial for the drink’s vibrant flavor.
- Mix the Base: In a shaker or mixing glass, combine your prepared strawberries with fresh lime juice and simple syrup if using. Shake or stir gently to blend the flavors.
- Add Ice and Sprite: Fill a tall glass with ice cubes, then pour in the strawberry mixture. Top it off with chilled Sprite to add the fizzy sparkle that defines this drink.
- Stir and Garnish: Give the drink a gentle stir to mix the ingredients evenly. Garnish with a strawberry slice or a sprig of mint for a gorgeous finish.
Notes
- Use fresh strawberries and freshly squeezed lime juice for the best flavor quality.
- Taste as you go and add sugar or syrup sparingly to keep the sweetness balanced.
- Make sure your Sprite and glass are cold to keep the drink icy and refreshing longer.
- Lightly mash the strawberries just enough to release juices without too much pulp.
- Serve immediately to enjoy the full fizz of the Sprite.
