Ingredients
- 150 g fresh strawberries, hulled and chopped
- 15 fresh mint leaves
- 2 limes, cut into wedges
- 2 tbsp sugar, or to taste
- 1 pinch salt
- Crushed ice
- 300 ml chilled lemon-lime soda or sparkling water
Method
- Put the strawberries, mint, lime wedges, sugar and salt in a sturdy jug or two tall glasses.
- Press and crush gently with a muddler or spoon for about 30 seconds until juicy.

Good to know: Press the mint lightly. Crushing it too hard releases a bitter taste.
