This homemade strawberry lemonade is a refreshing summertime drink filled with fresh strawberries!

As soon as the weather starts to get warm, I’m instantly craving a nice cold glass of this delicious fresh strawberry lemonade. And the best part, it can be quickly turned into a refreshing summer co*cktail too.

I like to add my favorite vodka, tequila, and even lemon-flavored rum. Either way, this strawberry lemonade is my go-to summer drink recipe. It’s perfect for bridal showers, baby showers, birthday parties, holiday parties, or just a simple family BBQ.

Made a batch yesterday for when the kids got home from school and they downed it in 5 minutes. Biggest compliment they could give!

Ingredients To Make Strawberry Lemonade

• Sugar: I use granulated sugar to make the simple syrup.
• Water: You will use a total of about 7 cups of water for this lemonade recipe. 1 cup of water is used to mix with the sugar.
• Fresh strawberries: I love using fresh, juicy strawberries but you can use frozen strawberries. Just make sure you thaw them first.
• Lemons: Freshly squeezed lemon juice is the best but if you need to use store-bought lemon juice you can but know the flavor will be super tart.

How To Make Strawberry Lemonade

1. Boil. In a medium saucepan, bring sugar and water to a boil. Remove from heat and let cool to room temperature.
2. Blend. Place strawberries into a food processor or blender and blend until smooth to make strawberry puree.
3. Mix. Pour strawberry puree into the sugar water. Add lemon juice. Stir well.
4. Serve. Pour strawberry lemon mixture and cold water into a large pitcher. Stir well and add ice. Pour into glasses and top with chopped strawberries and a lemon slice.

Expert Tips

• Sparkling Water. Want to give the lemonade a little fizz, use sparkling water instead of plain water.
• Make it a co*cktail. Add some vodka or even tequila.
• Limes. If you want to switch it up, you can make strawberry limeade which is also superdelicious. All you have to do is substitute the lemons for limes
