Dirty Strawberry Soda is a refreshing and vibrant non-alcoholic beverage that perfectly balances the natural sweetness of fresh strawberries, the bubbly fizz of club soda, and the creamy richness of vanilla creamer or heavy cream.

Ingredients

Scale

Base Ingredients

  • 5–6 medium fresh ripe strawberries
  • 1 to 2 tablespoons simple syrup (adjust to taste)
  • 1 teaspoon fresh lemon juice (optional)

Cream and Fizz

  • 2 to 3 ounces vanilla creamer or heavy cream
  • 6 ounces chilled club soda or sparkling water
  • Ice cubes (as needed)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Strawberry Base: Wash and hull fresh strawberries. Slice or chop about 5-6 medium-sized strawberries, then muddle them gently in a glass using a muddler or the back of a spoon to release their sweet juices and enhance the flavor.
  2. Add Simple Syrup and Lemon Juice: Add 1 to 2 tablespoons of simple syrup (adjust to your sweetness preference) along with 1 teaspoon of fresh lemon juice to the muddled strawberries. Stir well to combine and balance sweetness with a subtle tartness.
  3. Pour in Creamer: Fill the glass with about 2 to 3 ounces of vanilla creamer or heavy cream. Stir gently to blend while keeping some cream swirls visible for a visually appealing layered effect.
  4. Add Ice and Club Soda: Add ice cubes to the glass, then slowly pour in approximately 6 ounces of chilled club soda or sparkling water. Pour carefully to maintain bubbles and avoid overflowing. Give a light stir to combine without deflating fizz.
  5. Final Touch and Serve: Garnish with a fresh strawberry slice or a sprig of mint. Serve immediately and enjoy the perfect balance of creamy, fruity, and bubbly flavors in every sip.

Notes

  • Use ripe strawberries for the best natural sweetness and flavor payoff.
  • Keep all ingredients and glasses well chilled for a refreshing experience.
  • Adjust sweetness gradually by tasting while adding simple syrup.
  • Muddle strawberries gently to avoid a gritty texture.
  • Pour creamer slowly to create beautiful layering effects with the soda.
