Instructions
Add the mint leaves and the the strawberries to a tall glass, and muddle for about 1 minute. Try to crush the strawberries without tearing up all the mint leaves. You can use a muddler, fork or the back of a wooden spoon to crush the strawberries.
If you're going to serve this drink with straws, you may want to crush the strawberries with an immersion blender or put them in a food processor and pulse a few times so that they get small enough to fit through the straw.
Add the lime juice and lime slices and stir everything to combine.
Fill the glass with ice and pour the Sprite over it. Stir again.
