Ingredients
  

2 cups fresh strawberries, hulled and sliced

1 tablespoon sugar (adjust to taste)

1 teaspoon lemon juice

2 cups vanilla ice cream

1-2 cups sparkling water or lemon-lime soda

Fresh mint leaves for garnish

Optional: Crushed ice

Instructions
 

In a medium bowl, combine the sliced strawberries, sugar, and lemon juice. Toss gently to coat the strawberries in sugar and lemon juice. Let them macerate for about 10-15 minutes until they release their juices.

    Once the strawberries are ready, take tall glasses and add a scoop of vanilla ice cream to each glass, filling about one-third of the glass.

      Spoon a generous amount of the macerated strawberries on top of the ice cream, allowing some of the juices to drizzle down.

        Slowly pour sparkling water or lemon-lime soda over the ice cream and strawberries, filling the glass until the liquid reaches the rim. Add crushed ice if desired for extra chill.

          Garnish each float with fresh mint leaves on top for a pop of color and freshness.

            Serve immediately with a straw or spoon, ensuring a delicious layer of flavors in each sip.
