Ingredients
Quantities are shown as originally provided.
- 1 1/2 cups fresh strawberries (chopped roughly)
- 2 tbsp sugar (castor or superfine)
- 1/2 cups freshly sqeezed lime juice
- 2 limes (cut into small chunks)
- 4 cups ice
- 3 cups sparkling water
Instructions
- 1
Place strawberries in a large jug. Sprinkle sugar over strawberries and allow to macerate for a couple minutes.
- 2
Pour over lime juice and crush strawberries with a muddler, meat mallet (which I used) or potato masher. The idea is to crush the strawberries until they release their delicious juices but not to break them up completely.
- 3
Add cut limes and mix in ice.

Top up with sparkling water.
