Ingredients

• 300 g frozen strawberries, plus fresh ones to garnish
• 30 ml fresh lime juice
• 30 ml Simple syrup (1:1 sugar and water)
• 120 ml sparkling water or lemonade
• 240 ml Ice

Method

1. Put the frozen strawberries, lime juice, syrup and sparkling water or lemonade in a blender.
2. Add the ice and blend on high for 30–40 seconds, until thick and smooth. Add a splash of water if the blender stalls.
3. Taste and blend in a little more syrup if the berries are tart.
4. Pour into two chilled glasses and garnish each with a halved strawberry and a lime wheel.

Tips

• Simple syrup is 1:1 sugar and water: stir equal amounts in a small pan over low heat until clear, cool, and keep it in the fridge for up to 2 weeks.
• Frozen berries keep it thick and frosty; fresh ones give a thinner drink, so add more ice.
