Many of my friends on the East Coast are bracing for a big snowstorm this week but here in England it truly seems like spring has sprung! After a long, dreary winter the sun has been shining and flowers are popping up everywhere.

I’ve been trying to take full advantage of the weather and getting outside as much as possible-and keeping my three boys out as well. Yesterday I whipped up some easy Strawberry Lemonade for them while they were playing outside and it was a huge hit!

In the past I’ve served this Strawberry Lemonade in champagne flutes as an alcohol-free drink option when entertaining. It’s perfect for summer BBQs, baby showers, wedding showers, or really any special occasion because it tastes delicious and serves up so pretty. I like to put some frozen strawberries in mine to keep it cold along with ice and of course, some lemon slices too!

Ingredients

  • strawberries
  • lemon juice
  • sugar
  • sparkling water

Step by step

  1. Puree strawberries along with 1/2 cup lemon juice until smooth.
  2. Use a sieve to strain out seeds and berry bits.
  3. Add remaining lemon juice and sugar and mix. Start with 4 cups of water and adjust to taste, adding up to six cups of water total. Depending on the ripeness of the strawberries and your personal sweetness preference you may want more or less water. I prefer a slightly less sweet taste so I add the full six cups.

Serving suggestions

  • Garnish strawberry lemonade with cut strawberries and lemon slices if desired.
  • Add frozen strawberries to the pitcher to keep the lemonade cold and give it an extra special look!

FAQs

Can I make this ahead of time?

You can prep everything short of adding the sparkling water ahead of time. Store in the fridge until ready to serve, then add the sparkling water.

Can I make it with regular water?

Yes, for a non-carbonated version use regular water instead of sparkling.

Can you make this with alcohol?

I haven’t tried it myself yet but I imagine vodka would work well with this recipe.

  1. All these drink looks delicious, I can’t wait for warmer weather we just got 5″ of snow and the high today will be a warm 19*, coffee, and hot chocolate are my drinks of choice today 🙂
    I KNOW spring is just around the corner, which corner, I keep looking.
