Let’s Make It Together
Prepare Your Ingredients: Start by washing and hulling those luscious strawberries. Slice them into halves or quarters to help unleash their juicy goodness while blending.

Shake It Up!: Secure your shaker lid tightly and shake vigorously for about 15 seconds until everything combines into an icy symphony of colors. It should feel cold in your hands—just like that perfect summer day!
Strain into Glasses: Using a fine mesh strainer (or simply pour carefully), strain the mixture into chilled glasses filled with ice. Be amazed by that stunning blue hue as you pour!
Add Soda Water and Garnish: Top each glass with soda water to give it an effervescent kick. Garnish with fresh strawberry slices or a fun umbrella for extra flair!
