I LOVE summer. I wish summer could last forever. That’s why I feel so lucky to be in Vegas right now, lol. I feel like there’s nothing more refreshing than lemonade. So I decided to create my own strawberry lemonade. You can make this recipe even more fun by choosing sparkling water instead of regular water. For a version with alcohol, you could also add some gin to the recipe.

Servings: About 4-5

Ingredients

• ½ cup fresh strawberries
• ½ cup sugar
• ¾ cup fresh lemon juice
• 3 cup water
• Ice (optional)

Instructions

1. Using an immersion blender, blend the strawberries until smooth.
2. In a serving pitcher, mix together the strawberry puree, sugar, lemon juice, and water.
3. Serve with ice or store in the fridge until ready to serve.

Notes

• For a sparkling version, you could substitute the water with sparkling water.
• To make it a summer cocktail, you could add some gin to the lemonade.
