Directions
Prepare the Ingredients
Start by washing the fresh strawberries under cold water. Remove the stems and slice them into halves for easier muddling.
Add Strawberries and Agave
Next, add the halved strawberries to the shaker along with the agave syrup and lime juice. Muddle the mixture gently to combine the flavors without completely breaking down the strawberries.
Shake with Ice
Fill the shaker with ice cubes, cover it tightly, and shake vigorously for about 15-20 seconds until well mixed and chilled.
Strain into Glass
Using a fine mesh strainer, strain the mixture into a glass filled with fresh ice cubes to remove the solids while retaining the flavorful liquid.
Top with Sparkling Water
Pour the elderberry sparkling water gently over the strained mixture in the glass, allowing it to mix without stirring too much to preserve the fizz.
Garnish and Serve
Garnish your drink with lime wedges on the rim and, if desired, a slice of cucumber for a refreshing touch. Serve immediately and enjoy your Spicy Strawberry Rita!
