👨🍳 Nisar’s Note: When I make this on a hot day, I sometimes freeze the strawberries first for an extra chill and a slushy vibe — it hits different!
Summery: This drink was inspired by a scorching afternoon when all I craved was something light, fizzy, and fruity — but without the sugar. I tossed together fresh strawberries and lemon, added a splash of sparkling water, and boom — my new go-to summer refresher was born!
🍓 Ingredients:
- 1/2 cup fresh strawberries (sliced)
- 1 cup cold water
- 1 cup sparkling water (unsweetened)
- 2 tbsp fresh lemon juice
- 1 tbsp erythritol or monk fruit sweetener (adjust to taste)
- Ice cubes
- Fresh mint leaves (optional, for garnish)
🧋 Instructions:
- Muddle strawberries in a small bowl or shaker until juicy.
- Add lemon juice and sweetener. Stir well.
- Fill a glass with ice cubes and pour the strawberry-lemon mix over it.
- Top with sparkling water and stir gently.
- Garnish with mint leaves and a strawberry slice. Serve chilled!
💡 Tips:
- Swap strawberries with raspberries for a twist.
- Use flavored sparkling water for added taste.
