A delicious Strawberry Lemonade Recipe perfect for summer, showers, and all sorts of special occasions.
My family absolutely loves refreshing summery drinks when the weather warms up. From our honey lemon balm spritzer to my flavored water, we definitely love simple, fun, cool refreshing drinks and this strawberry lemonade is definitely a favorite!
If you have fresh strawberries and some happy looking lemons you can have a batch of this fresh homemade Strawberry Lemonade made in just a little bit!
Simple, delicious ingredients of strawberries, lemons, and a simple syrup are all it takes to make this crisp, cool twist on classic lemonade.
The simple syrup can be made ahead of time and stored in your refrigerator to make it even easier to whip up a batch at a moment’s notice or when you are planning ahead to make for a party. Party prep ahead of time could not be easier.
There is just nothing better on a warm afternoon than a cool glass of lemonade, and this Strawberry Lemonade definitely takes it up a notch. The sweetness of the strawberries mingled with the tartness of the lemons makes a practically perfect treat in my opinion. Of course you can adjust the level of sweetness to your taste by adding more water or sugar, or increase either the strawberries for a richer pink or more lemons for even more tartness. It is entirely up to you!
The pretty pink color of this Strawberry Lemonade makes a great drink for Mother’s Day, a baby or bridal shower, a girl’s birthday party or even a fun pool party to celebrate the end of school and summertime! And it is picnic perfect for spring and summertime celebrations!
I hope you enjoy this fun strawberry lemonade recipe as much as we do!

I LOVE a good strawberry lemonade, and I haven’t had one in awhile! Yours make my eyes happy – so pretty! Pinning!
This looks so refreshing. There’s something so perfect about lemonade on a hot day.
So simple and yet beautiful and refreshing. Now if we could just get some days that feel warm here in Colorado, I’m ready for homemade lemonade!
I can’t wait until it finally gets warm here – this looks like the perfect sit on the porch and soak up the sun drink!
I can’t wait to make this! Do you think it’d be as good with frozen strawberries?
I think so!
Wow, Amy this looks incredibly delicious and refreshing. You think if I make some, it will magically bring some warm weather with it? 🙂
Oh my! This is just what I’m looking for. A perfect way to drive away the heat!

This is so lovely, Amy!! I’m crossing my fingers for a Mother’s Day picnic but our weather has been so iffy. This would be the perfect drink. 😉

This drink recipe would’ve come in handy at the start of the week…the temps were scorching here on the east coast. I’ll keep this on hand for the next heatwave.
Happy Friday, Amy 🙂
It was pretty hot here earlier this week, especially for May. Let’s hope it’s not setting up to a particularly steamy summer.
I want to make this all summer long!
Luckily I live in San Diego where the weather is warm most of the time. Can’t wait to make this
Would you know nutrition information? Serving size and grams of sugar per serving are my concern.
I do not have the nutritional data calculate for this recipe.
I was wondering if you could tell me the serving size and the amount of grams of sugar per serving
How many servings ? I guess 10 because it asked
For 10 cups of water ?
Just wondering how long is it good for if kept in fridge?
