Directions
1. To make the simple syrup: In a small saucepan, combine sugar, strawberries, and water and heat over medium-high heat, until sugar is dissolved. Simmer on low heat for 10 minutes, until strawberries are broken down. Remove from heat and allow to cool down to room temperate. Pass the mixture through a fine mesh strainer and transfer to a mason jar. This makes you about 1 cup of strawberry syrup that you can keep in the fridge for several months.
2. To make the cocktail: Fill cocktail glasses with ice cubes. Divide gin and lime juice among the glasses and pour the strawberry syrup over. Stir until incorporated. Top with soda water. Enjoy!
Note: Make the simple strawberry syrup ahead of time, so you can assemble the cocktail at the very last minute.
