Preparation
  1. Add strawberries to the bottom of a sturdy glass.
  2. Squeeze in fresh lime juice from half a lime.
  3. Add your chosen sweetener. Start with a small amount.
  4. Add mint leaves and clap them between your hands before adding.
  5. Gently muddle the mixture to release juices and oils, being careful not to shred the mint.
  6. Fill the glass with ice.
  7. Top with soda water and stir gently.
  8. Taste and adjust tartness or sweetness as needed.

Do not over muddle the mint to avoid bitterness. Use cold soda water for the best fizz and flavor. Adjust flavors before adding soda water for easier balancing.
