Introduction
Refreshing Strawberry Lemonade is a great version of regular pink lemonade. It’s so refreshing and flavorful. What’s more? I love the appeal of this drink. And the fact that you can use frozen strawberries makes it even easier.
This Refreshing Strawberry Lemonade is as refreshing as the picture, yes. Okay! Now, I’m praising my photography. But, no one else is praising it in the comments so I thought I’d treat myself. Today i will show you How TO Make Refreshing Strawberry Lemonade let’s start
Ingredients
You only need 4 ingredients for this easy Refreshing Strawberry Lemonade which are strawberries, lemon, mint, and sugar. Also, you’ll need water and ice to chill.
How to make it?
This homemade Refreshing Strawberry Lemonade is easy to make. Just take a look at the visuals and read the instructions as needed.
Step 1. Put the strawberries, mint, sugar, ice, and water in a blender.
Step 2. Blend into a smooth liquid, taste test here.
Step 3. Fill glasses with juice.
I am adding very little lemon soda to bring out the flavors but if you avoid carbonated drinks you can skip it completely. Do not increase the lemon soda steps as adding more lemon soda dilutes the strawberry mint flavors.
I added a little extra lemon which will hit the palate. And um! I love it. Play with the recipe with adjustments if needed.
Serve with fresh mint leaves. You can also garnish each glass of this refreshing lemonade by placing a strawberry and a lemon slice on the rim.

Expert Tips
Fresh or Frozen: I used fresh strawberries, but frozen is just as good and nutritious. Why? Because they ripen fully when they are picked from the vine and frozen. Fresh strawberries are crushed when they are ripe. Isn’t that amazing to know?
Make Ahead: It’s always a good idea to make ahead. I like to blend strawberries, lemon juice, and mint with a minimum of water. Refrigerate or freeze for later. Add water and ice before serving.
Variations
For the Strawberry Lemon Soda, I like to make a sparkling strawberry lemon soda.
If you like to add more fruit juices to this lemonade for a complex flavor, try it with watermelon or apple or guava. Yes, guava pulp would be fantastic in this juice. You can also try this lemonade with other berries.
For the slushy: Blend frozen strawberries and replace most of the water in the recipe with ice.

Notes
To make this drink a few hours in advance, combine all ingredients except ice and soda. Add ice and mix well when serving. Taste test, adding more water if needed.
Sugar: You can add up to ¾ cup of sugar but will need more water to balance out the sweetness.
Lemon soda or 7-Up: To make a fizzy strawberry drink, fill ¾ of a glass with strawberry lemonade and ice, then top with lemon soda. Serve with a straw.
For club soda: You can pour some club soda directly into the glasses for a fizzy drink. Consider reducing by ½ cup of water if needed.
