This Easy Strawberry Lemonade is a refreshing and sweet-tart drink made with fresh strawberries, lemon juice, and a touch of sugar. It’s perfect for cooling down on a hot day or serving at summer gatherings.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 pound fresh strawberries, hulled
  • 1 cup freshly squeezed lemon juice (about 46 lemons)
  • 3/4 cup granulated sugar (adjust to taste)
  • 4 cups cold water
  • Ice cubes, for serving
  • Strawberry slices and lemon rounds, for garnish (optional)

Instructions

  1. In a blender, combine strawberries and 1 cup of water. Blend until smooth.
  2. Strain the strawberry puree through a fine mesh sieve into a large pitcher to remove seeds (optional).
  3. Add lemon juice and sugar to the pitcher. Stir until the sugar dissolves completely.
  4. Pour in the remaining 3 cups of cold water and mix well.
  5. Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes before serving over ice.
  6. Garnish with fresh strawberry slices and lemon rounds if desired.

Notes

  • Adjust sugar to taste depending on the sweetness of the strawberries.
  • Add sparkling water instead of still water for a fizzy twist.
  • Can be made up to 2 days in advance and stored in the fridge.
