Notes:
- Mint Preparation: To unlock the mint’s vibrant aroma, gently slap the leaves between your palms before muddling. This releases essential oils without bruising, adding a refreshing herbal lift to your drink.
- Strawberry Selection: Use fresh, ripe strawberries for the fullest flavor and natural sweetness. While frozen berries are a convenient alternative, they may slightly alter the texture, making the drink less crisp.
- Sweetness Adjustment: Customize the sweetness to your liking by adjusting the amount of simple syrup. Start with less and taste as you go especially helpful when using sweeter berries.
- Club Soda Fizz: For maximum effervescence, use freshly opened club soda or sparkling water. A fresh pour ensures lively bubbles that elevate the drink’s refreshing character.
- Flavor Variations: For a creative twist, add a splash of flavored syrup like strawberry, raspberry, or even basil-infused simple syrup. These additions enhance both color and complexity.
