Ingredients
- 2 cups frozen strawberries
- 1 cup fresh lemon juice
- 1/2 cup sugar
- 3 cups sparkling water
- Lemon slices for garnish
Instructions
- Prepare your ingredients by measuring out the frozen strawberries, fresh lemon juice, sugar, and sparkling water precisely.
- Add frozen strawberries, fresh lemon juice, and sugar to a high-powered blender. Blend on high speed until the mixture becomes smooth and completely combined, creating a vibrant strawberry-lemon puree.
- Taste the puree and adjust sweetness by adding more sugar if desired. The mixture should have a balanced sweet-tart flavor profile.
- Fill serving glasses with ice cubes to ensure the drink remains chilled and refreshing.
- Pour the strawberry-lemon puree evenly into the prepared glasses, filling them approximately halfway.
- Slowly top each glass with sparkling water, gently stirring to create a beautiful marbled effect and integrate the puree with the carbonated water.
- Garnish each glass with fresh lemon slices on the rim for an elegant presentation and additional citrus aroma.
- Serve immediately while the drink is cold and the sparkling water maintains its effervescence.
Tips
- • Use frozen strawberries for a thicker, more slushy-like consistency • Adjust sugar to taste - some strawberries might be sweeter than others • For an adult version, consider adding a splash of vodka or prosecco • Use fresh, high-quality lemon juice for the best flavor • Chill your glasses beforehand for an extra cold experience • If blending is too thick, add a little sparkling water during blending to help mix • For a prettier presentation, use clear glasses to showcase the beautiful marbled effect • Serve immediately to maintain the drink's carbonation and optimal temperature
