Ingredients
  

1 cup fresh strawberries, hulled and sliced

1/2 cup granulated sugar (adjust to taste)

1 cup freshly squeezed lemon juice (about 4-6 lemons)

4 cups sparkling water (chilled)

Lemon slices for garnish

Fresh mint leaves for garnish

Ice cubes

Instructions
 

Prepare the Strawberry Mixture: In a medium bowl, combine the sliced strawberries and granulated sugar. Gently mash the strawberries with a fork or a muddler to release their juices. Let this mixture sit for about 10-15 minutes to allow the sugar to dissolve and the strawberries to soften.

    Make the Lemonade Base: In a large pitcher, combine the freshly squeezed lemon juice and the strawberry mixture (including all the juices). Stir well to incorporate the flavors.

      Combine with Sparkling Water: Slowly pour in the chilled sparkling water to the pitcher. Look for a gentle stir to mix everything without losing the fizz.

        Taste and Adjust: Taste the sparkling lemonade and adjust sweetness if needed by adding more sugar or lemon juice to fit your preference.

          Serve: Fill glasses with ice cubes and pour the sparkling strawberry lemonade over the ice.

            Garnish: Garnish each glass with a lemon slice and a few fresh mint leaves for a refreshing touch.

              Enjoy: Serve immediately and enjoy the bubbly, fruity flavors of your homemade sparkling strawberry lemonade!
