Ingredients
  

1 cup fresh strawberries, hulled and sliced

2 tablespoons sugar (adjust based on sweetness preference)

1 teaspoon lemon juice

1 cup heavy cream

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

2 cups club soda or sparkling water

Ice cubes

Fresh mint leaves for garnish

Additional strawberries for garnish

Instructions
 

Prepare the Strawberry Mixture: In a medium bowl, combine the sliced strawberries, sugar, and lemon juice. Stir well and let sit for about 15 minutes to macerate and release their juices.

    Make the Cream: In a mixing bowl, whip the heavy cream with an electric mixer on medium speed until soft peaks form. Add the vanilla extract and mix just until combined. Be careful not to over-whip; you want it to be light and fluffy.

      Combine: After the strawberries have rested, mash them gently with a fork to create a chunky sauce.

        Assemble the Drink: In a tall glass, add a scoop of the strawberry sauce, followed by a layer of ice cubes. Gently pour in the club soda until just filled, allowing the layer of strawberry sauce to rise near the top.

          Top with Cream: Spoon the whipped cream on top of the soda for a beautiful finish. The cream should float on top, creating a lovely layered effect.

            Garnish and Serve: Add a mint leaf and a whole strawberry on the rim of the glass for garnish. Serve with a straw and enjoy your refreshing drink!
