This is the summer drink that will have your taste-buds singing with the perfect combination of flavors both sweet and tart!
I am a lover of lemonade as you can already tell from my Refreshing Homemade Lemonade and my Blueberry Lemonade recipes. Be sure to check them both out as well and you will not be disappointed! I could make lemonade every day and there are so many different flavors that you can pair with lemonade that I would never get bored with this drink!
This time, I decided to pair lemons with strawberries. Every time we would go to a restaurant (before the pandemic), my husband would order a lemonade most of the time and it always had a flavor. Strawberry lemonade was one of the most popular choices on every menu so I decided to make it myself and see if I could make it just as great! Well, I am here to tell you that I just may have mastered the art of strawberry lemonade making.
I love simple recipes that call for few ingredients and this one uses strawberries, lemons, granulated sugar, and water. Super easy and super simple! I actually don’t even use a simple syrup in the recipe either. Although if you do not have a blender then you can always go the simple syrup route. There are ways around it and you can still enjoy this delicious strawberry lemonade recipe!
Ingredients in Strawberry Lemonade
Strawberries– Use strawberries that are fresh and ripe. The sweeter the better.
Lemons– Use fresh lemons for the best tasting lemonade.
Granulated Sugar– This is going to add sweetness to your lemonade.
Water– This is going to dilute the fruit juice and sugar mixture and give you the perfect lemonade.
Tips for the Best Strawberry Lemonade
- Use fresh fruit for your strawberry lemonade.
- If my recipe is a little too sweet for you then add half a cup of water at a time until you achieve your desired taste.
- Chill it in the fridge for a few hours or serve over ice because it tastes best cold.
- Do not skip straining your fruit juice mixtures. This makes a smoother strawberry lemonade.
How to Make Strawberry Lemonade
- Juice your lemons until you get 1 cup of freshly squeezed lemon juice.
- Rinse your strawberries and cut the leaves off them.
- Put 1 cup of strawberries, 1 cup of sugar, and 1 cup of water into a blender.
- Blend it all until it is a smooth mixture with no chunks.
- Using a fine strainer, strain your freshly squeezed lemon juice into your desired pitcher.
- Next, strain your strawberry mixture into your desired pitcher. You may need to stir it around some so that all the juice will go into the pitcher.
- Add in your 5 cups of water one cup at a time until you reach your desired taste. Feel free to add more water if you need to.
- Chill lemonade in the fridge for a few hours or serve over ice.
- Enjoy!
