🍓 Ingredients (for 2 Servings) 🍋🥂
🍓 Fresh strawberries – 1 cup, hulled & sliced (the redder, the better 🍓❤️)
🍋 Fresh lemon juice – 3 tablespoons (from about 1 large juicy lemon 🍋💧)
🍯 Honey or agave syrup – 1 tablespoon (for that natural sweetness ✨)
🧊 Cold sparkling water – 1 ½ cups (you can use plain or lemon-flavored 💦🍋)
❄️ Ice cubes – about 1 cup (half cup per glass 🧊🧊)
🌿 Fresh mint leaves – a few pretty ones for garnish 🌱✨
🍋 Lemon slices – 2 thin, round slices for an extra fancy touch 🎀
👩🍳🔍 Step-by-Step Instructions! 🥰
Step 1: Make the Strawberry Base 🍓💞
Toss 1 cup of sliced strawberries, 3 tablespoons of lemon juice, and 1 tablespoon of honey/agave into a blender.
🔄 Blend on high for about 30–45 seconds until you get a smooth, pink purée that smells like happiness.
Step 2: Strain (Optional but Recommended!) 💡🧐
Pour your purée through a fine mesh strainer into a bowl or cup to remove seeds and pulp.
💦 You’ll end up with about ½ cup of velvety liquid. So smooth, so fancy. ✨
Step 3: Ice, Ice Baby 🧊🎶
Grab two cute glasses and fill them halfway with ice cubes (that’s ½ cup per glass).
🧊🧊 This keeps everything cool and gives your drink that ✨refreshing✨ factor.
Step 4: Pour the Strawberry-Lemon Mix 🍓🍋
Divide the strawberry mixture evenly between the glasses—that’s ¼ cup per glass.
👀 Watch that color pop—it’s giving major summer energy!
Step 5: Add the Sparkle 💥🥂
Carefully pour ¾ cup of cold sparkling water into each glass.🌈 Tip: Tilt your glass slightly to avoid too much foam.✨ Gently stir to combine. The fizz + the pink = pure magic!
Step 6: Garnish and Glow 🌿🍋
Top each glass with a slice of lemon 🍋 and a couple of fresh mint leaves 🌿.🌸 Now you’ve got yourself a drink that looks like it came from a 5-star café.
