Would you like a refreshing drink that is both sweet and tart at the same time? You are going to love this!
It’s just a couple ingredients to make, and so simple. I like to have the simple syrup on hand to make this quickly whenever we want it. It’s one of our favorite summer drinks.
What is a simple syrup?
This is equal parts of sugar and water, boiled together over medium heat until slightly thick. For this beverage, we add strawberries to the sugar and water and strained with a fine mesh strainer.
The strawberry simple syrup is also great on pancakes, or French toast, too.
Ingredients you need:
- Water
- Sugar
- Strawberries
- Lime juice
- ice
- club soda to fill glass
Making your sparkling strawberry limeade
- In a medium sized saucepan, add water, sugar and strawberries.
- Bring to a boil, stirring constantly. Stir until sweetener is all dissolved. Allow to cool completely.
- In a glass, add syrup, fresh strawberries and fresh lime juice. Stir completely.
- Add ice and fill with club soda. Stir quickly to combine, and enjoy!
Ways to change this up
