1
Prepare the Strawberries
Wash the fresh strawberries thoroughly under running water. Remove the stems and cut them into halves.
2
Cook the Syrup
In a medium saucepan, combine the halved strawberries, sugar, and water. Bring the mixture to a boil over medium heat, stirring occasionally until the sugar dissolves.
3
Simmer
Once boiling, reduce the heat and let it simmer for about 15 minutes, until the strawberries are soft and the syrup thickens slightly.
4
Strain the Syrup
Remove from heat and let it cool for a few minutes. Strain the syrup through a fine mesh sieve into a bowl, discarding the solid pieces of strawberry.
5
Store the Syrup
Let the syrup cool completely before transferring it to an airtight container. Store in the refrigerator until ready to use.

6
Prepare the Glasses
Take two tall glasses and fill each with ice cubes to your preference.
7
Add Strawberry Syrup
Pour 2 tablespoons of the prepared strawberry syrup into each glass over the ice.
8
Incorporate Grapefruit Juice
Add half a cup of fresh grapefruit juice to each glass, mixing gently with a spoon.
9
Add Soda Water
Top off each glass with one cup of soda water, pouring slowly to maintain the fizz.
10
Garnish and Serve
Garnish each drink with fresh strawberries and a slice of grapefruit on the rim. Serve immediately and enjoy!
