🍓 How to Make Homemade Strawberry Lemonade

Step 1 – Blend the Fruit

Place the strawberries and freshly squeezed lemon juice into a blender. Blend until completely smooth.

Step 2 – Pour into the Pitcher

Transfer the blended mixture to a large pitcher. If you prefer an extra-smooth lemonade, strain the mixture through a fine-mesh sieve before pouring it into the pitcher.

Step 3 – Add the Sparkling Water

Slowly stir in the chilled sparkling water. Taste the lemonade and add sugar, honey, or your preferred sweetener if desired.

Step 4 – Serve Over Ice

Fill glasses with ice and pour in the lemonade. Garnish each glass with fresh strawberry slices, lemon wheels, and a sprig of mint for a simple finishing touch.

⚡ Flash Tip

Chill the strawberries, lemons, and sparkling water before you begin. Starting with cold ingredients keeps the lemonade refreshingly cold without watering it down with too much ice.

🚫 Avoid This Mistake

Don't blend the sparkling water with the fruit mixture. Always stir it in at the end to preserve the bubbles and keep the lemonade light and refreshing.
