Strawberry Lemonade Recipe Tips:

  • LEMONS: Use fresh lemons (or fresh frozen lemon juice).
  • STRAWBERRIES: Use fresh or frozen strawberries and blend to make a puree. No need to strain it.
  • SWEETNESS: Depending on how sweet or tart you want this drink to taste, you can use 1/2 to 3/4 cup of sugar.
  • AMOUNT: This recipe makes about 6 cups, but you can easily double or even triple it. A big batch is perfect for parties and gatherings with friends.
  • STORAGE: This drink will keep in the fridge for several days.
  • FRESH LEMON TIP! I often keep 1/4 cup cubes of frozen fresh lemon juice in my freezer and will use those to make this recipe. Just toss the frozen cubes into water with sugar, mix until thawed.
  • GARNISH: Add sprigs of fresh mint, a lemon slice and sliced strawberry.
  • MAKE IT A COCKTAIL: This is a great drink to add a splash of vodka to!
  • FLAVOUR OPTIONS:
    • Make Strawberry Limeade by substituting the lemons with limes!
    • Or use raspberry puree to make raspberry lemonade.
