Strawberry Lemonade {with Real Strawberries} - Miss in the Kitchen (2024)

ByMilisa June 18, 2020March 21, 2024

Strawberry Lemonade made with real strawberries for the most refreshing and delicious summer drink ever! A quick and easy recipe that you will be making for every cookout, celebration or pool party!

When it’s stinking hot outside nothing sounds better than a tall glass of lemonade. I’ve always been a huge fan of the strawberry lemonade from Applebee’s and I think I’ve finally made a homemade version that I love just as much!

Start from scratch with your own homemade lemonade or use premixed or Countrytime, which ever is your favorite. I like to make homemade but I don’t always have lemons on hand.

Ginger beer adds a nice bit of zing to the lemonade. It’s a non-alcoholic soda that is great for mocktails and co*cktails.

How to Make Strawberry Lemonade:

• Add 1/2 quart of prepared lemonade to a blender with 4 cups of strawberries and 1/4 cup of sugar.

• Blend until smooth.

• Pour strawberry mixture into a pitcher, add 1/2 quart of lemonade.

• Top with 12 ounces of ginger beer or Sprite.

• Mix well.

• Serve over ice and garnish with lemon slices if desired.

Recipe Tips:

Fresh or frozen strawberries will work for this recipe. If you are using frozen strawberries, thaw slightly and if they are sweetened, just skip the sugar.

Store refrigerated up to 1 day. Mixture can be frozen up to 3 months in a zip top freezer bag. Thaw in refrigerator and stir before serving.

Pour mixture into popsicle molds and freeze for 12 hours for a frozen treat.

To make this into a co*cktail for the adults, mix in your favorite rum, vodka or tequila or try these Strawberry Lemonade Margaritas.
