Description
A refreshing drink featuring vibrant strawberry soda topped with creamy vanilla ice cream, perfect for summer gatherings.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups Fresh Strawberries, hulled and sliced
- 1/4 cup Granulated Sugar
- 1 tablespoon Lemon Juice
- 4 cups Sparkling Water or Club Soda
- 4 scoops Vanilla Ice Cream
- Fresh Mint Leaves, for garnish (optional)
Instructions
- Start by rinsing your fresh strawberries under cool running water. Hull and slice them, placing them in a mixing bowl. Using a masher or fork, mash the strawberries gently to release their juices. Add the sugar and lemon juice to the strawberries, stirring until well combined. Allow this mixture to sit for about 10-15 minutes to let the flavors meld and the sugar dissolve.
- Combine the strawberry mixture with the sparkling water or club soda in a large pitcher. Stir gently to combine while preserving the fizz. Taste your refreshing soda and adjust sweetness if needed by adding more sugar or lemon juice.
- Fill each glass halfway with the fresh strawberry soda. Carefully add a scoop of creamy vanilla ice cream on top. Garnish with sliced strawberries or mint leaves and serve with a straw or spoon.
Notes
Use fresh strawberries for the best flavor. Adjust sweetness with more lemon juice if it’s too sweet.
