A Little Mama’s Wisdom
To really make this drink pop, make sure your soda water is as cold as possible. Chilling the glass beforehand also helps maintain that refreshing sparkle. If you want a slightly sweeter version, you can macerate the strawberries in a teaspoon of sugar for ten minutes before muddling.
For a festive touch, garnish with a sprig of fresh basil or mint. The herbal aroma perfectly complements the sweetness of the berries and the earthy notes of the tequila!
