To make the iced coffee, combine the sugar and water in a small pan and bring to a boil, stirring until well combined. Turn off the heat and allow to cool completely. Add the simple syrup to the chilled coffee to taste. I prefer about 3 Tablespoons for every cup of coffee which will use almost all of the simple syrup.

In a bowl, combine the strawberries with the 2 Tablespoons of sugar and mash with a pastry blender or potato masher.

To serve, combine your favorite beverages and mix ins with 2-3 cups ice cream. Here are a few favorites.

For The Arnold Palmer, combine two scoops of vanilla bean ice cream with equal parts sparkling lemonade and sweet tea.

For The Strawberry Lemonade, combine two scoops of strawberry ice cream with 3 Tablespoons smashed strawberries and sparkling lemonade.

For The Cookies and Cream, whisk together 3 Tablespoons cream with 3 Tablespoons of fudge sauce and a splash of club soda at the bottom of the glass. Top with two scoops of cookies and cream ice cream, crumbled cookies, and additional cream (or milk) and club soda.

For The Mocha, whisk together 2 Tablespoons cream and 3 Tablespoons of fudge at the bottom of the glass. Top with two scoops of mudslide ice cream, cookies, and iced coffee. Add additional fudge sauce and a splash of club soda to to the top, if desired.
