    This sweet and sour strawberry pink lemonade is a delicious and refreshing drink to enjoy this summer. Made with fresh strawberries and lemons, it's easy to make and comes together pretty quickly too.

    Recipe: $3.48 | Per Serving: $0.35 | Servings: 10

    Glass of strawberry lemonade with lemon and strawberry slices.

    I've always loved the way strawberries and lemons pair well together. They're a sweet and sour combo of tangy freshness and go great together in drinks, food, desserts, and more.

    This strawberry lemonade is easy to make, which is a huge plus for why I love it. But I also love that it uses fresh berries and lemons because the pink lemonade I can buy in powdered form at the store never tastes like the drink I have in mind.

    This drink though, hits every note perfectly. With not a lot of added sugar, the real fruits can shine through. The only issue is that I can never make a big enough batch in my pitcher because I have to share with the other lemonade lovers over here.

    🥘 Ingredients

    labeled ingredients needed to make strawberry pink lemonade.

    Ingredient Notes:

    Strawberries- You will need some fresh strawberries to give us a delicious fresh taste and pink color.

    Lemons- Use freshly squeezed lemons or lemon juice concentrate, depending on what you have on hand. Make sure to save some lemons for Blue Raspberry Lemonade and Creamy Lemonade.

    Sugar- Adding in granulated sugar will help to cut down on the acidic taste and give us a better flavor profile.

    For specific ingredients and measurements, please see the recipe card below.

    🔪 Instructions for Strawberry Pink Lemonade

    Heat water and sugar in pot until dissolved. Wash and quarter strawberries.

    Step 1: Place one cup of water and one cup of sugar into a pot over medium heat (Image 1).

    Step 2: Cook until the sugar has dissolved and then set aside to cool (Image 2).

    Step 3: Wash your strawberries (Image 3).

    Step 4: Remove the tops and quarter them (Image 4).

    Blend strawberries until smooth, then strain through a sieve to remove seeds.

    Step 5: Place the berries into a blender or food processor (Image 5).

    Step 6: Puree until smooth (Image 6).

    Step 7: Run the strawberries through a sieve (Images 7&8) *Optional

    This will help to remove the pulp and some of the seeds (but not all of them).

    Combine strawberry puree, lemon juice, ice cubes, and remaining water in a pitcher.

    Step 8: Add your strawberry puree to a pitcher (Image 9).

    Step 9: Add in the lemon juice and sugar water (Image 10).

    Step 10: Add your ice cubes (Image 11).

    Step 11: Add in the remaining 4 cups of water (Image 12).

    Step 12: Stir to combine.

    Serve cold and enjoy!

    🍴 Recipe Tips

    1. Microwave Simple Syrup: If you prefer to avoid using the stovetop, consider making Microwave Simple Syrup as an alternative method.
    2. Maximizing Lemon Juice: To extract more juice from fresh lemons, try microwaving them for 10-30 seconds. Then, before cutting them in half, roll them back and forth on the counter while applying gentle pressure. This technique can help maximize the amount of juice obtained from the lemons.

    👩🏻‍🍳 Storage

    I wouldn't recommend keeping any on hand for more than 5 days. Make sure you keep it stored in the fridge when not being used.

    💭 Recipe FAQs

    Can I use lemon juice concentrate?

    Yes, you can! If you don't have real lemons on hand you can use concentrate in a pinch. You can also use it to bring the fresh lemon juice up to the required measurement so you can keep that strong lemon flavor.

    Is pink lemonade strawberry lemonade?

    Unfortunately no. A lot of the store-bought pink lemonade is actually just lemonade with added flavorings or food coloring.
    As you can see this juice is all-natural with no added ingredients and the color isn't exactly pink colored. This is because yellow lemons and red strawberries make orange, not pink- but you have to admit it's a pretty color nonetheless.

    Can I use frozen strawberries to make lemonade?

    Yes, you could. This may actually work in your favor as they will blend easily and help to keep the lemonade chilled longer.

    Notes

    To squeeze more juice out of fresh lemons a tip I like to use is microwaving them for about 10-30 seconds. Then before slicing in half, roll them back and forth along the counter while pushing down on them, like you're rolling out a dough log. This helps to get more juice out of the lemons.
    If you don't have real lemons on hand you can use concentrate in a pinch. You can also use it to bring the fresh lemon juice up to the required measurement so you can keep that strong lemon flavor.
    Storage
    This lemonade is good for up to 5 days. Make sure you keep it stored in the fridge when not being used.
