Strawberry Lemonade – easy homemade lemonade with a fresh sweet and tart flavors from fresh strawberries and lemons. Perfectly refreshing and delicious! Want to make it as an adult version? Add some vodka or sparkling wine.
Nothing screams summer than strawberry and lemon flavors. The sweet and tartness of this drink makes it a family-favorite especially during warmer days.
With the abundance of lemons in my area, I couldn’t say that that I’ve missed a week not having an icy cold glass of lemonade ever since we hit into the spring season.
I’m a lemonade fan! The great thing about lemonade is that you can use ANY kind of fruit to your liking. They are a perfect grab after every meal or when the heat strikes up here in L.A. I even shared a couple of my favorites here on the blog, like this Brazilian Lemonade, Mango Lemonade, and Pineapple Lemonade. See, how love lemonade?
And that list won’t be complete without this Strawberry Lemonade. It’s made with pureed fresh strawberries with the tartness of vibrant lemons. It’s ridiculously easy to make with less ingredients. And strawberries are on sale now; what more could I ask for? This gal here hoarded tons of them. 😉 😉
While he was sipping on the lemonade outside , couldn’t help it , this flower caught my attention and just had to post it .
This refreshingly good drink just took me 10 minutes, or even less, which makes it easier for my son to request an icy cold pitcher of this lemonade at any time.
If you want to keep a pitcher of this lemonade handy in your fridge, you can make it 2 days ahead chilled and covered. Remember, that to get most juice out of lemons, make sure that they are at room temperature when you squeeze them. And always adjust the amount of sugar based on your preference.
Serving this for adults? Get creative and throw in some booze like vodka or sparkling wine. Have fun and stay cool one glass at a time!
Happy Memorial Day!!!
Enjoy!

Amazing recipe! The only change I made was reducing the sugar to 1 1/2 cups because I like my lemonade a little tart. But the rest was perfection! The flavor was awesome and super easy to make.

I am having trouble with the measurement of some of he ingredients, exactly does 2.67 or 0.67 cup mean. How do I find that measurement on a measuring cup.
Immaculate Bites says
Hello Marilyn! This recipe only has 5 ingredients and no measurement of 2.67 or 0.67 cup on any of them. You may refer to the US Customary or Metric measurements that is available on the recipe card. Thank you 🙂

Hi Imma. I’ve made strawberry lemonade before but it always came out too bland or too sugary. I’m so trying it right now with your measurements and I’ll let you know if it worked. Thanks.
