Quick and easy homemade strawberry syrup melds with creamy vanilla ice cream when fizzled with club soda.

Ingredients

　　1 1/2 lb strawberries, hulled (4 cups), plus 1 cup wedges for serving

　　1/2 cup simple syrup (see note), plus more to taste

　　1 teaspoon fresh lemon juice

　　1/2 cup white rum

　　4 small scoops vanilla ice cream

　　16 ounces club soda

　　In a blender, puree hulled strawberries, simple syrup, lemon juice and rum until smooth. Strain through a fine-mesh sieve, pressing seeds to extract as much liquid as possible. Discard seeds. Add simple syrup to taste. Divide strawberry syrup among 4 tall glasses. Pour 4 ounces club soda into each glass and stir gently to combine. Divide strawberry wedges among glasses and top with ice cream. Serve immediately with long straws and spoons.
