What you need for strawberry soda

Homemade strawberry soda is easy to whip up at home: a berry syrup makes the “strawberry” and club soda makes the “soda.” Here’s what you need to have on hand to make each part:

• Strawberries
• Sugar
• Club soda
• Lemon

Tips for making homemade strawberry syrup

The only part of strawberry soda that takes time? Making the homemade strawberry syrup. You can substitute purchased syrup in a pinch, but it’s not nearly as tasty as the brilliant berry flavor of homemade. Plus, it’s more fun to make your own! Here’s what to know about homemade syrup:

• The process takes about 15 minutes. You’ll simply cook down berries with sugar, then strain them through a fine mesh sieve.
• You can use it right away. Don’t want to wait for it to cool? That’s ok! Since you’re serving your drink with ice, you can use the syrup before it cools down.
• Or, make it in advance! The easiest way to assemble this drink is to make the syrup in advance.

Strawberry soda: build it in the glass!

This strawberry soda is easy to mix up in the serving glass. In fact, we recommend this versus a pitcher. Why? The club soda can go flat if it sits out in a pitcher for too long. To ensure you’ve got the most bubbles, build the drink right in the glass! Here’s how to do it:

• Mix the syrup with a little soda water. This helps the syrup to dissolve.
• Add the remaining soda water and a squeeze of lemon. Mix it a little with a straw to get it to combine.
• Add ice and garnish with lemon wedges. Add a cute straw, if you like!

Step it up with clear ice

The best way to step up strawberry soda? Make a batch of clear ice! Clear ice is crystal clear ice that you can cut into organic shapes. It makes a stunning drink that looks like one you’d get in a fancy bar. It takes just 24 hours to make in a small cooler. Here’s how to make clear ice!
