The Perfect Spring Break Week ♥: Tip 2- The Perfect, Most Refreshing Drink


Sparkling Strawberry Lemonade


We personally love the sparkling part of the lemonade, because when you are laying by the pool, nothing is more refreshing than something bubbly! Ice cold and carbonated <3


What you need:

1. Strawberry Syrup

  • 1 cup of chopped strawberries
  • 2 tablespoons of sugar
  • 1 teaspoon of lemon juice
  • 2 tablespoons of cold water
  • 1 pinch of salt 
 2. Lemonade

  • 1 cup of VERY hot water
  • 2/3 cup of sugar
  • 1 ¼ cup of FRESHLY squeezed lemon juice
  • 4 ½ cups of sparkling water (the kind with bubbles)

Directions:


  1. To make the strawberry syrup, combine the strawberries, sugar, lemon juice, cold water and salt in a blender or food processor (if you use a blender, you will have to work harder to make it a puree).
  2. Put the strawberry puree through a strainer to remove the seeds. Be sure to press down on the mixture, you want to get as much of the liquid as possible. 
  3. To make the lemonade, mix the hot water and sugar in a large pitcher until the sugar is dissolved. 
  4. Mix in the lemon juice and the sparkling water. Then mix in the strawberry puree. 
  5. To serve, rub the rim of a glass with a lemon and dip in sugar (you want the sugar lined rim, it tastes so good!). Add ice to the glass and pour in your lemonade! ENJOY!
