Fizzy Strawberry Soda (Printable Format)

A bubbly, refreshing drink made with fresh strawberries and lemon-lime soda. Perfect for summer parties and super easy to make!

# What You'll Gather:

→ Base Ingredients

01 - 1 cup fresh strawberries, sliced
02 - 2 cups lemon-lime soda (Sprite or 7UP)
03 - 1 cup ice cubes

→ Optional Flavor Booster

04 - 1 tablespoon strawberry syrup (for extra sweetness)

→ Garnish

05 - Fresh strawberries for topping
06 - Strawberry slices for rim garnish

# Step-by-Step Instructions:

01 - Give those strawberries a good wash and slice them thin. If you want extra strawberry power, muddle a few slices right in your glass to release all those sweet juices.
02 - Fill your glass about halfway with ice cubes. This keeps everything nice and cold - nobody wants a warm dirty sprite!
03 - Pour that bubbly lemon-lime soda over the ice, but leave some room at the top. You'll need space for all the good stuff coming next.
04 - Drizzle in the strawberry syrup if you want it extra sweet and give it a gentle stir. Just mix enough to blend the flavors without losing all the bubbles.
05 - Top with fresh strawberry slices and maybe stick one on the rim for that Instagram-worthy look. Serve right away while it's still fizzy and cold!

# Important Tips:

01 - This drink is perfect for summer parties, BBQs, or whenever you need a fun, kid-friendly beverage.
02 - You can muddle the strawberries first for a stronger fruity flavor and a prettier pink color.
03 - For a less sweet version, skip the strawberry syrup and let the fresh strawberries do all the work.
04 - Best served immediately while the soda is still fizzy and the ice is cold.
