Was the Memorial Day app going to play or stills uninformed confused ♀️ Venus Evans and Deanne want 2 try it this wknd?
How many strawberries do you add. Not listed in the recipe.
Recipe doesn’t specify a measurement for the strawberries that are in it?
Instructions are spot on, taste is delicious!
Great Drink!!!!
What can I say about this outstanding soda, but WOW!!!!! I can’t seem to make enough of it!
I just did the soda and loved it! It was very tasty and refreshing. I will definitely do it again! Thanks Giada
I have made this drink several times and everybody loved it, both old and young! Even though this is supposed to be sweet, I would put more lemon juice in it, otherwise it is a little too over-the-top sweet. You can strain this, to get the strawberry seeds out, but a lot of the fruity flavor gets taken out, but it is good either way. Also, if you want this to truely be like a soda, I put the suggested amount in (I use club soda instead of sparkling water, plus a little more after it’s poured into a glass.
We used BLACKBERRIES which required straining but was worth the effort. I reduced the sugar a bit and used this to make ice cream sodas which were out of this world!
My family loved it! I’ll be making this drink a lot this summer.
