Ingredients

• 2 cups fresh strawberries, hulled and halved
• 1/4 cup water
• 2 tablespoons granulated erythritol
• 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 1/4 teaspoon ground cardamom
• A pinch of ground nutmeg
• 1/4 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
• 2 cups ice cubes
• 1 bottle (750ml) sparkling water, chilled

Instructions

1. In a saucepan over medium heat, combine strawberries, water, and erythritol. Cook until the strawberries soften and release their juices, about 8 minutes.
2. Remove from heat and stir in cinnamon, cardamom, nutmeg, and vanilla extract. Allow the mixture to cool completely, then strain it through a fine mesh strainer into a large pitcher.
3. Add ice cubes to a cocktail shaker, pour half of the strawberry mixture over the ice, seal, and shake vigorously for 15 seconds. Strain into a glass filled with fresh ice. Repeat with the remaining strawberry mixture.
4. Top each glass with sparkling water and garnish with a whole or sliced strawberry on a toothpick.
