If you like fizzy bubbles or sparkling water, try adding club soda or Sprite to some strawberry lemonade. I like to call these versions a strawberry lemonade sparkler. Another adult version is to add Prosecco for a refreshing cocktail. Its a nice twist to this classic summer drink.

Strawberry Lemonade
Quench your thirst with this sweet and tart strawberry lemonade. It won’t last long!
1 cup sugar
1 cup water
1 pint fresh strawberries (cleaned and hulled)
1 1/2 cups fresh lemon juice (about 6 lemons, seeds removed)
3 cups cold water
large pitcher
ice for serving
In a medium saucepan, bring the sugar and water to a simmer. Stir so the sugar dissolves completely. Remove from heat and let it cool.
Place strawberries into a blender or food processor. Blend until smooth. Put the strawberry puree through a sieve to remove most of the seeds and pulp.
Combine the strawberry juice, sugar water and lemon juice into a large pitcher. Add 3 cups of cold water and stir well. Serve with ice and garnish with lemon or strawberry slices.
