The Resurrection
The Story
Technically an Agua de Fresa. We took some liberties with the re-naming. What was intended to be a hangover cure with the Resurrection name, turned into a mocktail. This was mainly because all hangover cures are either boring (hydrate), gross (drink pickle juice), or weird (rub lemon on armpits). No thank you.
This refreshing mocktail is sure to be a hit by the glass or by the punchbowl. Just make sure to give yourself plenty of time for the strawberries to steep in the sugar water.

4 cups Strawberries (sliced)
1 cup Sugar
8 cups of cold water
1 Lime, cut into 8 wedges
