Fresh Strawberry Lemonade

Real strawberries, fresh-squeezed lemon, and a simple measured syrup make a bright pink pitcher of homemade lemonade.

⏱ 15 min🍹 4 servings🌈 Easy joy

This fresh strawberry lemonade is made with real berries and freshly squeezed lemon juice. A quick simple syrup dissolves evenly into the pitcher, so the drink stays smooth instead of gritty. Blend and strain the berries for a clear pink lemonade, or leave a little pulp for a fruitier pour.

Make ahead

Mix the strawberry-lemon base and chill it. Add ice only to the glasses so the pitcher keeps its flavor instead of watering down.

What you'll need

For 4 sippers

Let's make it
