Recipe Ingredients
Sweetener - I prefer using homemade simple Syrup made by boiling equal parts of water and sugar (1:1). Honey, agave, or maple syrup can be used but they alter the taste.
So, after Aam Panna, here comes the next easy-to-make and amazing-to-sip - Sparkling Strawberry lemonade. One sip is all you need to fall in love with it.
Apart from being the best summer drink, it is also perfect as a welcome drink. It’s delicious, pretty looking, caters to all age groups making it also apt for get-togethers and parties.
All you need is lemons, strawberries, and sugar to make this delicious drink. Let’s see how to make strawberry lemonade.
Lemon juice: I use freshly squeezed lemon juice. This effort is worth it.
Strawberry Puree: I like to use fresh strawberries and puree them without water or sugar.
Salt: A little salt helps to really bring out the flavors.
For serving: Sparkling water or Club soda I like to mix the concentrate with soda so it has a gentle sparkle to it. Water can be used too. Or add vodka to make a cocktail.
Garnishes - Mint leaves, lemon slices, and strawberry slices.

This can be made in advance and stored in the refrigerator for up to 3-4 weeks easily. Comes in really handy like when you have to make this drink.
Make Strawberry Puree - Hull the strawberries (cut the green part off) & then puree them in a blender without water or sugar to give 1 cup puree.
Squeeze Lemon Juice - Cut the lemons in half & squeeze the lemon juice to give about 1 cup of lemon juice. The number of lemons may vary based on their size and how juicy they are.
To make the strawberry lemonade concentrate
Store the concentrate in a bottle/jar & refrigerate till use. Add the lemon slices to the concentrate for a more citrusy flavor. You can serve strawberry lemonade with cold water or with a bubbly drink like soda or sparkling water or a mix of both. The fizz adds an extra zing to this drink. Option 1 - Individual serving - Add some ice cubes to your glass followed by concentrate (approx half of your glass) & remaining half with chilled Soda/Water. Give it a good mix and enjoy it!! Optional - The lemonade is ready to serve as is but adding some mint, lemon, and strawberry slices to your lemonade makes it extra special!! Option 2 - Big Batch - If you are making this for a large gathering then mix everything into a pitcher and serve. Don’t throw the lemon skin, slice them & add to your lemonade concentrate later. Adds nice citrusy flavor to the lemonade. Depending on how sweet you like your lemonade adjust the sugar quantity accordingly.
