Instructions
 

In a blender, combine the halved strawberries and sugar. Blend until smooth.

    Strain the strawberry mixture through a fine mesh sieve into a bowl, using a spatula to press out as much juice as possible. Discard the solids.

      Stir in the freshly squeezed lemon juice to the strawberry syrup.

        In a large pitcher, mix the strawberry syrup with the chilled sparkling water. Stir gently to combine. Adjust sweetness with more sugar if desired.

          To serve, fill glasses with ice cubes and pour the strawberry soda over. Garnish with fresh mint leaves and a slice of lemon, if desired.
