Strawberry lemonade is a cool, refreshing drink for spring or summer. There's no need to visit a restaurant to taste it. All you need is some simple ingredients and a blender.

Ingredients

Strawberry lemonade
Makes 4 servings

  • 2 cups water
  • 1 cup lemon juice
  • 1 cup sugar
  • 1 pint (2 cups) strawberries
  • Ice (optional)
  • Lemon slices, sliced strawberries, mint, chocolate mint, or other garnish (optional)

Quick strawberry lemonade

  • 3/4 cup of lemon juice (bottled is fine, fresh if preferred)
  • 1/2 cup sugar
  • 1.5 to 2 cups of fresh strawberries
  • 5 cups of water (still or sparkling, as preferred)

Creamy strawberry lemonade
Makes 4 servings

  • 4 lemons and sugar to taste; or lemonade powder (whichever you prefer)
  • 1 pint strawberries
  • Ice (optional)

Method 1

Method 1 of 3:

Strawberry Lemonade

  1. 1

    Make the lemonade. Combine the water, sugar, and lemon juice. It may be necessary to bring the water to a boil first, to get all the sugar to dissolve.

  2. 3 Ways to Make Strawberry Lemonade (2)

    2

    Remove the stems, hulls, and any bad spots from the strawberries. You can use more or fewer strawberries if you wish to.

  3. 3 Ways to Make Strawberry Lemonade (3)

    3

    Place the strawberries in a blender with lemonade to cover generously. Add a bit of ice if you would like more of a smoothie or slushy consistency. You can also freeze the strawberries instead of adding ice.

  4. 4

    Blend until mixed. Once it is mixed, pour it into a pitcher with the remainder of the lemonade, and stir.

    • Blending in only part of the liquid at first helps to get the strawberries blended more smoothly.

  5. 3 Ways to Make Strawberry Lemonade (5)

    5

    Serve the strawberry lemonade. Pour into glasses and float sliced or halved strawberries to the top. Garnish the rim of the glass with a slice of fresh lemon, if you like. Serve chilled with pink straws for extra flair.

Method 2 of 3:

Quick Strawberry Lemonade

  1. 3 Ways to Make Strawberry Lemonade (6)

    1

    Wash and hull the strawberries. Add them to a blender and blend until smooth. If needed, add some water to help it to blend easily.

    • Use seedless strawberries if you don't want seeds, or strain the seeds from it.

  2. 2

    Pour the lemon juice and sugar into the serving jug or pitcher. Stir to dissolve the sugar.

  3. 3 Ways to Make Strawberry Lemonade (8)

    3

    Pour the blended strawberries into the lemon juice and sugar mixture. Stir well to combine.

  4. 4

    Done. The strawberry lemonade is now ready for serving. Add ice cubes before pouring. If not serving immediately, keep chilled in the refrigerator.

Method 3

Method 3 of 3:

Creamy Strawberry Lemonade

This method takes a little longer, as it requires mashing before blending, to produce a creamy texture and then needs to be chilled for a while before consuming.

  1. 1

    Make lemonade. You can fresh-squeeze the lemonade from real lemons, or us a packet. The idea is for it to be regular lemonade, so use your favorite way of making lemonade for the base.

  2. 3 Ways to Make Strawberry Lemonade (11)

    2

    Wash and slice the strawberries. In a different bowl, add the strawberries. With a masher, mash the strawberries until creamy.

  3. 3 Ways to Make Strawberry Lemonade (12)

    3

    Blend the strawberries into the lemonade. Mix until the composition is smooth and thoroughly blended.

  4. 4

    Keep in the refrigerator for at least an hour.

  5. 5

    Serve. Once chilled sufficiently, add ice and enjoy.

    What if I don't have the strawberries?

    Raspberries or blueberries would work well too. But if you don't have any of that stuff, half tea and half plain lemonade make a great beverage as well, or just make lemonade!

    If you don't have a blender, you could try using a food processor instead. Keep in mind it will take less time to blend in a food processor compared to using a blender.

    Stevia works as well, so does honey. If you have maple syrup, that would work too.
