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
- Wash the fresh strawberries thoroughly and slice them into thin pieces. For stronger flavor, muddle a few slices in the glass to release their juices.
- Fill your glass about halfway with ice cubes.
- Pour the lemon-lime soda over the ice, leaving some room at the top.
- Add a tablespoon of strawberry syrup if desired, and stir gently to combine.
- Garnish with whole strawberries on top or a sliced strawberry on the rim of the glass.
- Serve immediately and enjoy your refreshing Strawberry Dirty Sprite!
Notes
- For a frozen version, blend all ingredients with ice to make a slushy drink.
- Add other berries like raspberries or blueberries for a mixed berry twist.
- Store leftovers in the refrigerator without ice to prevent dilution; add ice before serving.
- Frozen strawberries can be used for a thicker, colder texture.
- To reduce sweetness, omit or decrease the strawberry syrup.
- An adult version can be made by adding a splash of vodka or rum.
