Muddle the strawberries, mint leaves, lime juice, and sugar.
Fill 2 glasses with ice.
Strain and split the strawberry mixture between two glasses.
Top each glass with 6 oz soda water or sprite (split the can between the two cups).
Notes
Storage: You can muddle the strawberry, mint, lime, and sugar ahead of time, strain it, and store it in a mason jar for 24 hours before serving. Just be sure to open a fresh soda water to pour on top. Because of the carbonation, it's best to open soda water fresh so that it doesn't go flat! Pro Tips: This recipe is certainly only meant to be a guide, feel free to adjust it to fit your taste preferences. Here are a few suggestions (see the blog post for more):
More flavor - add a dash or two of bitters to give this drink more of an "alcoholic" feel.
More Sweetness - replace the soda water with lemon-lime soda.
