Strawberry crush: 6 tbsp

Soda: 500 ml

Mango ice cream: 6 tbsp

Crushed ice: 1 cup

Chill all the three juices in refrigerator for four to five hours. At the time of serving, take out the juices from the refrigerator and blend them together for a minute adding strawberry crush, lemon juice and ice cream in a food processor. Add crushed ice and blend for one more minute.

Fill four tall glasses three-fourth with this blended mixture. Top each glass with chilled soda. Stir a little and garnish with a lemon wedge and a cherry on the rim of each glass. Serve immediately.
