Step 1 - Prepare the strawberry puree

1. Wash the strawberries and hull. Cut the large strawberries into quarters and the rest in half. Place in a pan and add water.
2. Reduce the heat and cook for 10 minutes until the strawberries have softened. Mash the strawberries with a fork until smooth and simmer for a further 2 minutes.
3. Place a sieve on top of a bowl and put the strawberries in the sieve. Press the juice through the sieve with a spoon. Discard the seeds that remain behind.
4. Mix the strawberry juice with the sugar until dissolved. Because the juice is warm, the sugar dissolves more easily. Let cool to room temperature.

Step 2 - Put the fruit into the glasses

1. Wash the lemon and cut it into slices. Halve the slices. Put a few in each glass.
2. Wash the strawberries and hull them. Cut the large strawberries into quarters and halve the smaller strawberries. Put the strawberries in the glasses.

Step 3 - Add the strawberry syrup

1. Put some mint leaves in the glass.
2. And add 3 tablespoons of strawberry puree.

Step 4 - Fill with Gin and sparkling water

1. Pour the gin into the glasses.

• Tonic - Gin tonic is a delicious taste combination for a reason. Replace the water for tonic for a bitter.
• Pineapple and passion fruit - Go tropical and make a syrup of pineapple and passion fruit. To garnish, use diced pineapple, passion fruit, and some lime wedges. To enjoy.
