Notes
*For best results, refrigerate the gin and strawberry mixture for at least 30 minutes. That will give your drink a bright red-pink color.*Most flavors of sparkling water as well as club soda will work.*If you do not like fruit pieces in your drinks, strain out the strawberry slices.*This recipe can easily be doubled, tripled, or quadrupled to make a pitcher for multiple people. Wait to add the sparkling water until after serving in each glass.
