Ingredients

2 cups water
1 cup sugar

1 tablespoon lemon zest
1 pint fresh strawberries hulled and halved or quartered
2 cups cold sparkling water or club soda or a flavored carbonated soda such as lemon-lime or strawberry
ice

Instructions

In a medium saucepan, bring the water and sugar to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer, stirring occasionally, until the sugar dissolves. Add the lemon peel and lemon juice; stir and remove from the heat. Let cool completely, then strain into a clean pitcher.
In a blender, puree the strawberries and add to the pitcher with the lemon juice. Stir well to combine and refrigerate until well chilled.
Add the sparkling water and stir well. Pour into glasses filled with ice. Serve, garnished with your choice of lemon wedges and/or whole strawberries if desired.
