Strawberry lemonade

03.26.2014 (Updated: 04.17.2023)

Pureed strawberries, fresh lemon juice, bruised mint leaves for brightness and soda water for a bubbly finish. And the color… Oh, the lovely color! It’s the perfect summer drink.

Strawberry Lemonade

Because some strawberries are sweeter than others, consider the amount of simple syrup and lemon juice as a guide. You may need to make adjustments to get the perfect blend between tartness and sweetness that is most agreeable to your palate.

What is simple syrup? It’s equal amounts of sugar and water boiled together until the sugar is fully dissolved. If making it from scratch, cool before using to make strawberry lemonade.

Why use soda water and not plain water? Oh, for a lighter and bubbly lemonade. You have to try it to see how much difference it makes.

Are the mint leaves necessary? Oh, yes, they are. If large pieces of leaves in your drink bothers you, go ahead and process them into smithereens.
