Fizzy valentine

My fizzy Valentine

Toast your Valentine with the world’s easiest—and cutest—soft drink! Just cut strawberries in half, and then cut a V-shaped notch in the top of each half to create a heart shape. Place one strawberry heart in each well of an ice-cube tray, add clear soda until the strawberries are covered, and freeze. They’re perfect for adding a splash of fizzy fun to any drink or party punch bowl.
