Description
Strawberry Dirty Sprite is a deliciously refreshing and tangy twist on the classic Dirty Sprite cocktail. Combining the smooth, citrusy flavors of Sprite with the sweetness of strawberries and a hint of complexity from lean syrup, this drink is perfect for parties or casual get-togethers.
Ingredients
Fresh strawberries (or strawberry puree)
Sprite (or any lemon-lime soda)
Lean syrup (optional for extra flavor)
Ice cubes
Instructions
- Start by washing and hulling fresh strawberries. Blend them into a smooth puree. If you’re using store-bought strawberry puree, you can skip this step.
- Fill a glass with ice cubes to chill the drink.
- Pour in the strawberry puree to taste (about 2 tablespoons or more, depending on how sweet you want the drink).
- Add about 6-8 ounces of Sprite, depending on the size of your glass.
- If you want a more layered flavor, add a little lean syrup for extra sweetness and complexity.
- Stir well to combine all the ingredients.
- Garnish with a fresh strawberry on the rim of the glass or add some mint leaves for a refreshing touch (optional).
- Serve immediately and enjoy!
