Strawberry Soda Float (Print Version)

# Ingredients:

01 - Fresh strawberries, diced—about 2 cups.
02 - A can of lime soda, like Sprite or 7Up.
03 - 1-2 teaspoons of sugar.
04 - 2-3 scoops of vanilla ice cream (get the creamy homestyle kind).
05 - Red decorating sugar (only if you want).
06 - Extra berries to decorate.

# Instructions:

01 - Toss the diced strawberries in a bowl. Smash them up with a fork or masher. Stir in the sugar and leave for 10 minutes.
02 - Spoon the squishy strawberries into the bottom of your glass. Drop in a big scoop or two of ice cream.
03 - Pile on more strawberries and a couple more ice cream scoops. Toss some extra berries on top if you’d like.
04 - Pour in the lime soda until it fizzes to the top. Stick a strawberry on the rim and sprinkle some of that red sugar, then enjoy right away.

# Notes:

01 - Feel free to swap the strawberries for blueberries, raspberries, or blackberries.
02 - If you want smoother syrup, blitz the smashed strawberries in a blender.
03 - For a fun holiday twist, use a mix of red, white, and blue fruits.
