Ingredients
  

2 cups fresh strawberries, hulled and sliced

1/4 cup granulated sugar

1 cup sparkling water (chilled)

1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice

Ice cubes

Fresh mint leaves (for garnish)

Strawberry slices (for garnish)

Instructions
 

In a mixing bowl, combine the sliced strawberries and granulated sugar. Gently mash the strawberries with a fork or potato masher until they release their juices and create a chunky mixture. Let it sit for about 10 minutes to allow the strawberries to macerate.

    Using a fine mesh strainer or cheesecloth, strain the strawberry mixture into a separate bowl, pressing down to extract as much juice as possible. Discard the solids and set the strawberry syrup aside.

      In a large glass or pitcher, combine the strawberry syrup with fresh lemon juice. Stir well.

        Fill serving glasses halfway with ice cubes, then pour the strawberry syrup mixture over the ice (about 1/3 of the way full).

          Top off each glass with chilled sparkling water, stirring gently to combine.

            Garnish with fresh mint leaves and a slice of strawberry on the rim of the glass for a vibrant touch.

              Serve immediately and enjoy the fizzy, fruity freshness!
