Ingredients

Main Ingredients

  • 1 cup fresh strawberries (hulled and sliced)

  4. Prepare glasses: Fill serving glasses with ice cubes to keep the spritzer chilled and refreshing.
  5. Assemble the spritzer: Pour the strawberry lemonade over the ice-filled glasses, then top off each glass with sparkling water to add a refreshing fizz.
  6. Garnish and serve: Decorate each glass with lemon slices and whole strawberries for an attractive presentation. Serve immediately while chilled.
