Optional Additions
- 2–3 sliced fresh strawberries
- 1 tablespoon maraschino cherry juice
- Lemon or lime slices for garnish
- Nerds or sour candy for topping
Instructions
- Prepare the glass: Fill a glass with ice, choosing crushed ice for a slushy texture or ice cubes for slower melting and gradual chilling.
- Add strawberry syrup: Pour 2–3 tablespoons of strawberry syrup evenly over the ice to infuse sweetness and vibrant flavor.
- Layer optional fruit and juice: Add sliced fresh strawberries and maraschino cherry juice if using, to intensify the fruity notes and add natural freshness.
- Pour the Sprite: Slowly pour the 12 oz Sprite or lemon-lime soda over the layered ingredients to maintain fizz and prevent overflow.

- Garnish and serve: Decorate with lemon or lime slices and sprinkle Nerds or sour candy on top for a fun, tangy twist. Serve immediately with a straw for the best refreshing experience.

- The addition of fresh strawberries and cherry juice is optional but enhances flavor depth.
