Description
So I first tried this Strawberry Dirty Sprite at my friend Jake’s pool party last summer, and I literally had to hunt him down for the recipe. It’s basically a boozy, upgraded version of Sprite with fresh strawberries that tastes dangerously delicious and looks absolutely Instagram-worthy with that pretty pink color!
Ingredients
Scale
For a Pitcher (serves about 6-8):
- 2 liters of Sprite or lemon-lime soda (regular, not diet – trust me on this!)
- 1 cup good quality vodka (I use Tito’s, but use whatever you like)
- 1/4 cup coconut rum (Malibu works great)
- 2 cups fresh strawberries, hulled and sliced (plus extra whole ones for garnish)
- 1/4 cup fresh lemon juice (about 2 lemons)
- 2 tablespoons sugar
- Handful of fresh mint leaves
- Ice cubes
- 1 lemon, thinly sliced for garnish
Optional Add-ins:
- Purple food coloring (just a drop or two if you want that “dirty” purple tint)
- Splash of grenadine for extra sweetness
- Jolly Rancher candies (if you’re going for that super sweet version)
