The BEST Strawberry Lemonade

Treat yourself to a tall glass of ice cold Strawberry Lemonade on a hot summer day ... it's simple to make and so delicious!

Is there any drink more refreshing than a tall glass of ice cold lemonade on a hot day?

To me, lemonade brings up memories of summer days spent running around the yard or relaxing on the porch with my feet kicked up. Admittedly, my favorite lemonade growing up was the powdered Minute Maid kind ... we went through a ton of that stuff!

These days though, I'm all about a big pitcher of homemade Strawberry Lemonade.

If you love this lemonade as much as I do, then you have to try this fun twist on the classic ... it's even better than the original!

Strawberry Lemonade

Lemonade may seem labor intensive, but it's surprisingly easy to make. After all, it's just lemons, sugar, and water.

So it's definitely worth the effort to make it fresh. My go to recipe comes from Entertaining for a Veggie Planet, one of my favorite cookbooks.

I decided to modify that recipe a bit. And the result is this amazing, easy Strawberry Lemonade recipe. I feel confident saying that his is probably the best lemonade you'll ever taste ... so what are you waiting for? Make a batch today!

By the way, if you're serving this recipe for a party, you can spike this fresh Strawberry Lemonade with vodka. And make sure to check out my Spiked Raspberry Lemonade, too!
