Place the chopped strawberries, sugar, and water in a saucepan set over medium heat.

Simmer for about 5-6 minutes, stirring occasionally, until slightly thickened.

Pour the strawberry mixture over a fine mesh strainer to collect the syrup. Use the back of a spoon to press the strawberries against the strainer, extracting as much syrup as possible.

Set this aside.

In a pitcher, combine the strawberry syrup, lime juice, sliced strawberries and your beverage of choice.

Chill for several hours to allow the flavors to combine. Serve chilled over ice.
