This easy-to-make drink is sure to impress and can be customized with additional fruits or sparkling water for a fizzy twist. Enjoy chilled and garnished with mint and lemon slices!

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups fresh strawberries, hulled and sliced
  • 1 cup freshly squeezed lemon juice (about 4–6 lemons)
  • 1 cup granulated sugar (adjust to taste)
  • 4 cups cold water
  • Ice cubes
  • Fresh mint leaves for garnish (optional)
  • Additional lemon slices for garnish (optional)

Instructions

  1. In a blender, add the sliced strawberries (reserve a few for garnish if desired).
  2. Blend on high speed until smooth (about 30 seconds to 1 minute).
  3. Optionally, strain the puree through a fine mesh sieve for a smoother texture.
  4. Set the strawberry puree aside.
  5. In a large pitcher, combine the freshly squeezed lemon juice and granulated sugar. Stir until the sugar is completely dissolved (1-2 minutes).
  6. Add the cold water to the pitcher and stir to combine.
  7. Taste the lemonade and adjust sweetness by adding more sugar if desired.
  8. Pour the strawberry puree into the pitcher with the lemonade base, scraping out every bit.
  9. Gently stir to combine, creating a swirl effect without over-stirring.
  10. Taste again and adjust lemon or sweetness as needed.
  11. Cover the pitcher and refrigerate for at least 1-2 hours to meld flavors.
  12. Fill glasses with ice cubes and pour the strawberry lemonade over the ice.
  13. Garnish with reserved strawberry slices, fresh mint, and lemon slices if desired.
  14. Sip and savor the sweet and tangy flavors.
  15. Store any leftovers in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Stir before serving.

Notes

  • Adjust the sugar based on your preference for sweetness.
  • Feel free to mix in other fruits for a unique flavor twist.
  • For a fizzy version, add sparkling water just before serving.
