I've been making this Quick and Easy Strawberry Lemonade all summer long and we absolutely love it!
With the Labor Day holiday and all the festivities coming up I think that this is a good time to share this recipe with you. With a few simple ingredients you'll be sitting outside, sipping strawberry lemonade, in no time!
A pint of strawberries, your favorite jarred lemonade, and a little sugar is really all you need to make this thirst quenching drink. It's a semi-homemade thing and there is nothing wrong with that! Especially if you are short on time and dying of thirst. NOTE: you may not need any sugar if your strawberries are really ripe and sweet, as the jarred lemonade will already have sugar in it. Our strawberries were juicy sweet and I didn't have to use any sugar, but you will need to taste test to see.
I blended the strawberries until they were a puree and added that to my bottle of lemonade. Tasted it for sweetness and it was perfect as is.
Next thing I know, is we are sitting by the pool drinking Quick and Easy Strawberry Lemonade, listening to the birds sing, and savoring the last days of summer! Man that's good....
Enjoy!
Quick and Easy Strawberry Lemonade
4 cups of jarred Lemonade (any brand)
1 pint of strawberries, cleaned and hulled
sugar or simple syrup (optional for sweetness)
Pour ready made lemonade in a bottle or pitcher. In a blender puree the strawberries. Pour in to a mason jar. (This will keep for about 1 week in the refrigerator.) Add about 1/4 to 1/3 cup of strawberry puree to the bottle or pitcher. Stir and taste for sweetness. Add sugar or simple syrup to adjust sweetness to your liking. (You may not need any sugar, so be sure to taste.) Stir vigorously and then serve over ice.
