Ingredients

2 cups fresh strawberries, hulled and sliced

2 tablespoons granulated sugar

1 teaspoon lemon juice

2 cups vanilla ice cream

1 cup sparkling water or lemon-lime soda

Fresh mint leaves for garnish

Instructions

In a medium bowl, combine the sliced strawberries, granulated sugar, and lemon juice. Toss well to coat the strawberries completely and let them macerate for about 10-15 minutes until they release their juices.

In serving glasses, place a generous scoop of vanilla ice cream at the bottom.

Spoon a layer of the macerated strawberries over the ice cream, ensuring some of the juices drizzle down around the edges.

Slowly pour sparkling water or lemon-lime soda over the strawberries and ice cream until the glass is filled to your liking. Watch out for fizzing!

Garnish each float with a fresh mint leaf on top for a refreshing touch. Serve immediately with a straw.
