Homemade Strawberry Lemonade Recipe
Are you as ready for summer as I am?
This winter has been long, cold and lots of snow her in Minnesota! So, last week I made this refreshing Strawberry Lemonade for a little party I had and it made me ready for summer, sun and the beach. There is no better drink on a hot summer day than a delicious homemade lemonade.
This Strawberry Lemonade Recipe is so simple to make and can be modified with other fruits that you love too. You could use Raspberry, Peach, Watermelon, or cherry.
You could also turn this into an alcoholic beverage by adding some vodka in. I love a good raspberry lemonade recipe, so I am trying it next. Do you have any lemonade recipes that you use all the time?
