Fruit Mixture
- 1 cup fresh strawberries, hulled and sliced
- 2 tablespoons sugar (adjust to taste)
Cream Mixture
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Other
- 2 cups club soda or sparkling water
- Ice cubes
- Fresh mint leaves for garnish (optional)
Instructions
- Prepare the Strawberries: In a bowl, combine sliced strawberries and sugar. Let it sit for about 10 minutes to release their natural juices and create a sweet strawberry syrup.
- Make the Cream Mixture: In a separate bowl, whisk the heavy cream and vanilla extract until soft peaks form. Be careful not to overwhip to maintain a light, airy texture.
- Combine Ingredients: In each glass, add a few tablespoons of the strawberry mixture along with some of the syrup. Then fill the glass with ice cubes and pour in the club soda or sparkling water, gently stirring to mix the flavors without losing the fizz.
- Top with Cream: Spoon the whipped cream mixture on top of the soda and strawberries, letting it float beautifully to create a layered effect.
- Garnish and Serve: Garnish with fresh mint leaves if desired and serve immediately with a straw for the perfect sip of this creamy, fruity soda.
Notes
- Adjust the sugar quantity based on the sweetness of your strawberries and personal preference.
- Serve immediately after assembling to preserve the fizz of the soda and the fluffiness of the whipped cream.
- For a vegan alternative, substitute heavy cream with coconut cream and use sparkling water.
- Chill all ingredients before preparing for the best refreshing results.
- This recipe is non-alcoholic and suitable for all ages.
