For a single drink:
1/2 teaspoon granulated sugar
1 lime wedge
3 fresh strawberries, 2 sliced and 1 reserved for garnish
1 part gin
Soda
Fresh mint sprig, for garnish

Method:
In a tall glass, combine the sugar and a squeeze of juice from the lime wedge. Muddle with the back of a spoon to dissolve the sugar. Add the sliced strawberries and lightly muddle.
Fill the glass with ice and add the gin. Top with a splash of club soda and garnish with the last strawberry and a sprig of mint.

Recipe Notes
Make-ahead: You can make this pitcher ahead; mix everything except the club soda and ice, then refrigerate overnight. A night in the fridge will also help the strawberries add more flavor and color to the drink
