Strawberry Lime Soda
(courtesy of Genni Farrell. Serves 1)
1 part freshly squeezed lime juice
1 part simple syrup (recipe below)
2 strawberries, sliced
Soda water
Muddle lime juice, simple syrup, and strawberries in glass until strawberries are crushed and they form thick syrup. Add ice and top with soda water. Farrell recommends substituting different fruits, herbs, and even cucumber in place of strawberries.
For simple syrup: Bring 1 cup water to boil. Dissolve 2 cups sugar in boiling water, stirring constantly. Once sugar dissolves completely, remove pan from heat. Allow to cool completely and thicken. Store for up to one month in an airtight container in refrigerator.
