There's nothing better than delicious, tangy lemonade made with fresh lemons and strawberries.
There’s nothing that beats homemade lemonade…except adding strawberries to the mix! We’ve recreated a childhood favorite, added fresh strawberries and just enough sweetness to make this our new favorite summer drink.
Strawberry Lemonade
Ingredients
- 2 cups strawberries fresh
- 3/4 cup lemon juice freshly squeezed (from 5 lemons)
- 1/2 cup agave
- chilled water we used distilled
- 1 lemon thinly sliced
Instructions
- Slice tops from strawberries, discard. Add strawberries, agave, and lemon juice to a blender and pulse until strawberries are liquid. Strain juice through a sieve if you prefer most of the pulp be removed.
- Pour the juice into a 1/2 gallon pitcher, add slices of lemon, fill with chilled water. Don't overfill pitcher with water, add just enough to make 1/2 gallon. Pour over ice and enjoy!
- Garnish sides of glasses with a lemon slice and half of a strawberry. Also, try adding a few sliced strawberries to the pitcher. This is such a pretty drink.

This is very refreshing – Love it in the summer
try it
Any idea if it would work to keep the juice as a concentrate in the fridge and just make a single glass as needed?
I haven’t tried that but it should work fine. Keep us posted. 🙂
The recipe says 1 cup has 41 calories but your answer to lilprincess99 says 100. Which is correct?
We apologize for the confusion, Darlene. The nutritional data has been updated accurately now.
Can I substitute honey for the agave?
Yes, honey is fine as a substitute for agave.
Isn’t Agave more harmful than sugar? Is there any other substitute?
Raw honey is a good option, I think. If you don’t want the sugar spike, try adding 100% stevia.
