Instructions

Step 1: Make the Strawberry Puree

In a small blender or food processor, combine your fresh strawberries with the sugar. Blend until smooth. If you prefer a smoother texture, strain through a fine mesh sieve to remove seeds.

Step 2: Prepare Your Glass

Fill a tall glass with ice, about halfway. This will help keep the layers separate and keep the drink nice and cold.

Step 3: Add the Strawberry Base

Pour the strawberry puree into the bottom of the glass. Let it settle naturally.

Step 4: Pour the Sprite

Slowly pour the chilled Sprite or lemon-lime soda over the back of a spoon to prevent the layers from mixing too quickly. This helps create a beautiful layered effect.

Step 5: Add the “Dirty” Grape Swirl

Drizzle the grape syrup or blueberry syrup over the top. As it sinks, it will create a dark swirl effect — the signature “dirty” look of the drink.

Step 6: Garnish and Serve

Top with mint, lemon slices, or even a candy straw for a fun and festive finish. Serve with a straw and watch the colors swirl as it’s stirred.
