Could the weather be any more perfect for strawberry lemonade? Strawberries and lemons are in season, and are super cheap, the only other ingredients you need are sugar aaaand club soda, for some fizz!
What you need:
1 c fresh squeezed lemon juice (4-5 lemons depending on the size)
2 c quartered strawberries (cut out the white middle too)
1 c sugar
2 c water
1 tbsp lemon shavings
1 can club soda
1 shot of citrus vodka (optional)
Start by boiling the water, add all of the sugar, then reduce the heat and simmer until the sugar is totally dissolved, then add the lemon juice (strained) and lemon shavings. Remove from heat and let cool.
Cut up the strawberries, blender them until smooth. Also stick in the fridge to cool.
Once everything is cooled down, combine the strawberry puree and the lemon juice concoction together in a pitcher, and add your can of club soda. Pour over ice in a glass, garnish with strawberries or lemon wheels and enjoy!
This recipe also makes a great cocktail, I suggest citrus vodka.
