just couldn't help but continue my obsession with strawberries and all things spring... I decided to make this "mocktail" for us last night just to have something fun on a random Wednesday evening. :)
This sparkling limeade is perfect to serve to kiddos, at baby showers, to bring on picnics, etc. :)
sparkling strawberry limeade
serves 2-4, depending on glass size/how much you're willing to share ;)
Juice two large limes. (If your limes look super-small, you might want to do 3). :)
Add the juice from the limes to your mixing pitcher/cocktail shaker/etc.
To the lime juice, add 2 to 4 sliced strawberries (depending on the size of your berry and how much berryness you want) :)
Depending on how sweet you like your drinks, add granulated white sugar to the juice following this chart:
like it sour = add 1/4 cup
like it sweet/sour = add 1/3 cup
like it sweet = add 1/2 cup
Obviously you can do more/less to taste. :)
Mix/muddle/shake the lime solution very well at this point--- because you won't want to mix it harshly after adding the sparkling water and ruin all those magical bubbles! ;)
Once you feel the sugar is dissolved, add one, 1-Liter bottle of San Pellegrino Sparkling Water to the lime juice mixture.
Carefully pour into glasses and enjoy. (*note: If you want to garnish with sliced limes, you'll need to buy one extra at the store.)

This looks tasty :) Saving it for later to try!
