This strawberry lemonade is made from fresh squeezed lemons, strawberry puree, a simple syrup of sugar and water, and more water. Its a very easy recipe, but the result is a fantastic mix of the strawberry and lemon flavors.
This delicious lemonade is perfect for a warm summer day. It’s sweet, a little tart and delicious. If you like your lemonade sweeter you might want to add a little extra sugar to the simple syrup mixture.
This lemonade is so good. Its good this burst of strawberry flavors come through and of course the lemon flavor too. Its sweet, but not too sweet. Though you could add a little less or more sugar as needed for your preferences. You could also add a little more water to the mix to dilute the flavor if its too strong for you.

Yum! This sounds very refreshing. I hope I don’t sound like a lush, but what alcohol would you suggest I put in it if I’d like to make this an adult drink? Vodka?

I’m sorry Teresa, I’m actually not an alcohol drinker, so I wouldn’t know for sure! Good luck!
