This strawberry lemonade is tart and tasty with a sweet kick, perfect for the cook with garden access during the summer months. You'll need a blender with a "puree" or "high pulse" setting. Garnish with any leftover strawberries.
This recipe was almost perfect, but I would make two alterations. First I would add more strawberries to really get the flavor. Then, instead of blending the strawberries with two tablespoons of sugar, I would blend them with a quarter cup of sugar...it was quite tart! Also...you will need about eight standard lemons to get enough lemon juice.
Read MoreThis was gross! Couldn’t taste strawberries or lemons! Tasted like water with chunks. We put 10 lemons in and still didn’t get a good taste based on what the recipe said to do. This sucked!

Unbelievably simple......seriously. And boy, was it good. Even with a jigger of vodka. ;)
I was assigned to bring lemonade to a birthday lunch, so thought I would make it a bit more special and made this. I doubled it using my Breville juicer, so I had pure strawberry juice. I used 4 cups of lemon juice to 2 cups of strawberry juice and that worked well. I also warmed a few cups of water and let the sugar dissolve, added ice to cool, then added the balance of the water. I also used a mini muffin tray, placed a small strawberry in each, then filled with spring water to use as the ice cubes in a large serving container. Between the beautiful pink color and the strawberry ice cubes, it was a such a pretty presentation well received! Thanks! Fun recipe!
Really good and refreshing drink. For my own tastes, I'll probably add a few more strawberries next time to balance out the lemon-strawberry flavor. Honestly, guess mine was not "all natural," since I used Truvia instead of sugar, but you'd never know that (no aftertaste). Thanks David Tate, this is very nice.
There were some tips I wanted to add on submission but they were edited out: -I favor the "lemon" part of the lemonade so the recipe has a good kick to it. If you prefer a sweeter drink, try using less lemon juice. The sugar on the blended strawberries just acts as a flavor enhancer. -It takes anywhere from 8-10 lemons to yield 2 cups of juice. The best is handmade of course--but be sure to swirl your pitchers a bit before serving!
My sister's Boyfriend made it and it was pretty awful but looked good so 4 stars
This recipe was very simple and delicious. I added stevia to mine and instead of freshly squeezed lemon juice I used 2 cups of that 100% natural lemon juice that's usually found in a green bottle. Perfect use for a chunk of the strawberries we picked recently!
It was super good. I made it for my sister and her friend and they loved it. I would suggest using 10 strawberries instead of 8. It gives it a better taste.

I did strain the strawberry mixture after blending to remove some of the seeds. Really like the sweet/tart level.
Very easy to make and very good. Next time I will add more strawberries and a bit more sugar.
I made a double batch for the Fourth of July and put it in a beverage dispenser. I used a lot more strawberries and a little more sugar because it seems that strawberries are not as sweet as they used to be. They are very tart. It was a hit. The only problem I had was that about half way through I had to put a ladle in the dispenser because the pulp clogged the spout. There was a lot of pulp from the strawberries I had liquified in the blender. Next time I might strain it first. Two thumbs up from me ??
This drink was amazing! But it was not fun squeezing all those dern lemons!! I squeezed a whole bag and had just under 2 cups lemon juice. I used 10 strawberries. Also used a simple syrup. I have to get a juicer if I'm going to make this again.
I used half the lemon juice the recipe called for and I think I like it better that way. I used concentrated lemon juice because that was what I had and I used half sugar/half xylitol and it came out delicious.
This was so good! I used a bit less of "organic" sugar than the recipe required and it was amazing!
Didn't blend strawberries completely because i like having strawberry chunks in mine
It was very simple to make, but it was SO bitter! You can't taste the strawberries either. I had to add an extra cup of sugar and 7 more cups of water. I would not make it again.
Love the recipe! Just made a few changes like adding more strawberries and sprinkling them with a little sugar to pull out the natural juices. Also made a simple syrup to sweeten it a bit. Will make this a regular, will also try with raspberries.
This lemonade was so delicious! It only lasted one day! I used a little more strawberries but only because they were going bad. Wouldn’t change a thing. Great recipe.
I made this with and for my son and we thought it could be a little sweeter. I think our strawberries were more on the tart side, so next time I'll adjust as needed.
This was delicious! I used 1/2 c. of Domino Light (sugar/stevia blend) to cut back on sugar, but it was a hit!
This was a simple recipe and definitely quenched my thirst for lemonade! I only used 1/3c sugar though, to cut down on sweetness. Poured over ice and it was perfect!
An excellent drink!! I used a sieve to strain the strawberries So that there wasn't a whole bunch of seeds in my drink. I added an extra cup of water to be able to fill my container. I taste-tested the drink before and after I added water. I didn't taste much difference I think the only difference would be it will be less sugar. I'm sure I will drink this more than just in the summer. It's very refreshing.
Best strawberry lemonade recipe! The proportions are perfect. I was worried it wasn't enough strawberry at first, but was pleasantly surprised. We sugar the rim of our glasses to serve. This is a favorite.
Taste absolutely delicious How many Strawberries and lemon used definitely depends on the size of the fruit. I prefer more tart but you can always add more sugar. Simple
With modifications, this recipe has just the right balance of sweet and tart with noticeable strawberry flavor. I made changes suggested in other reviews. I used 10 strawberries instead of 6, and I increased the sugar to 1/4 cup in the strawberry mixture. I took the time to dissolve the sugar and water on the stove, once for the strawberry mixture and again for the lemon mixture. I decreased the lemon juice, using 1 1/2 cups instead of 2. After combining the strawberry and lemon mixtures together to cool in the fridge, I also stirred about 1/4 tsp. ground ginger (not fresh) into the pitcher, just because I love the subtle crispness it adds. Chill well before serving and garnish with a lemon slice. Delicious and very pretty!
OMG am 14yrl aand this is my first lemonade! i have made my first lemonade everyone!!! YAYAYAYAYA
Fabulous and simple! I think I will do a little less sugar next time for my personal preference!
Excellent!!!! I tend to overdo the strawberries and cut back on the refined sugar, looooooove so much
This recipe is awesome!! I didn't like how tart it was so I put in 1 and 1/3 cup of lemon juice and 10 strawberries. So easy and delicious!!
This was a great recipe I would just add half the lemon juice because if I would of added more it would be super tart
Extremely easy to make. Children love the pretty pink color, and both children and adults love the taste.
It's hot outside. This was today's refreshment delicious! Tonight...I might add a lil' vodka.
This was delicious, refreshing and way better than any strawberry lemonade I used to buy in a store. I love how I can use old strawberries that none of us would use anymore because they look bad (not moldy though, of course), blend them up with sugar and have an awesome tasting lemonade.
Made as is, you can tell it needs something. I've learned it helps to make a simple syrup by combining the sugar and equal part water then heat up to dissolve the sugar & allow to cool (for this recipe of 2 cups lemon juice, I used 1.5 cups sugar + 1.5 cups water). I did add nearly twice as many strawberries and 2 extra tbsp sugar because my strawberries weren't super sweet - keep that in mind when making strawberry lemonade :) And personal preference. I then added an additional 5 cups water (instead of 6). Start smaller - you can always add more, and keep in mind you may be adding ice.
I made it for my family with a bbq dinner and it was great! It didn't take as long to make as I thought and I squeezed the lemons with a handheld device. If I was in a hurry O'd consider using store bought lemon juice from a bottle as it may be a little faster to make it that way. If you're looking for a nice treat for your friends and family then try this recipe for strawberry lemonade!
IT was good, but I had to add 2 more lemons for the full lemonade flavor, it tasted way too watery, and I added a few extra strawberries because who doesn't love strawberries.
I am so looking forward to trying this recipe. I was looking for a lemonade with strawberries. Rating 5 stars because I know my family will love it.
We used a couple more strawberries than called for, and liquefied them with the water and sugar in our Bullet blender. We used about 1 1/2 cups or so of lemon juice, because that's how much juice we got from our lemons. We spun the juice and pulp in the Bullet, also. Except for a bit less lemon juice, followed the recipe, and it was delicious; I don't think I would want any more lemon than we had. Made 2 quarts.
This turned out great! Substituted 1/3 Cup powdered Stevia for sugar. Puréed strawberries and two lemons (peeled) in a Vitamix
Instead of sugar I added sweet and low. Next time I'll add more strawberries and maybe more lemon juice (Ps: it takes about 15 different size lemons to get 2 cups of juice.
I added the last cup of sugar in 1/4 cup increments but the recipe was fairly close and it was very good.
This recipe is delicious. I made it cause i dont drink soda and i love it. Its not too sweet. I will definitely be making it again.
I tried this with sugar substitute and it didn't work for me. rating in the middle because i did make that change. also, not too much strawberry flavor. Maybe i need to use mega size strawberries??? My hunt for my strawberry lemonade recipe continues.
Super simple and quick to make! I would suggest using warm-hot water to dissolve the sugar faster. Then refrigerate after. Also, i would definitely add more strawberries than you think you need and possibly even more lemon juice! But overall a very good recipe!
I made this for my friend and she absolutely loved it! We all did! I have been looking for a recipe for strawberry lemonade and my friend came across this for me! I was so happy when she found this! It was DELICIOUS!
Made this with a bag of lemons to get the 2 cups. I also used Splenda instead of sugar cuz I had some and it dissolves nicely. Was just a subtitle taste of the strawberry. Would be nice with whole blackberries or blueberries in it!
I am new to homemade drinks, but this was really great! I made it exactly to the recipe and it turned out amazing. I have a low sugar tolerance but it definitely wasn't too sweet at all.
This recipe is great! Just added 1 1/2 cup of lemon juice instead of 2 cups. Turned out perfect. The whole family said this is the best strawberry lemonade I've made.
OMG DELICIOUS ! I added lime Juice & more sugar & strawberries and water to make more. It's soo good and simple ! Can't wait for my husband to try !
Looked good, but I did not like the taste or texture. Think I'll go totally off recipe if I make it again.
A mixture of sweetness and tart! Delicious! Texture is amazing, it is a perfect drink for the summer! Way better than something that I would buy at the grocery store! Would totally recommend!!
I made a half batch as a trial run before a birthday party and it is a hit! I did use 8 frozen organic strawberries in the half batch, and I recommend doubling the berries. It was wonderful.
This turned out great! Added 2 extra strawberries to get more of a strawberry taste. Really easy to make! Had a blast making this with my three year old. Oh! And it is a plus that the whole house smells like lemons!
I had to add in three more strawberries because it was too tart. other than that though it was good.
I used this as a base line for my first attempt. I only wanted one glass full so I divided it all up very roughly... I ended up with a little more than needed and let my friend try it :P I added way more strawberries than suggested - about 7 smallish strawberries, half a cup of lemon juice and a cup and a half of water along with 2 tablespoons of sugar... I could have put less sugar in probably...
I loved this drink; before starting I read the reviews and followed a reviewer’s tip of adding 1/4 cup of sugar when blending the strawberries and oh my it is so good. I made it with only 400 ml of lemon juice and 5 cups of water as that’s all I could fit in my jug but I believe it’s the right amount of juice to have a sweet taste without that bitterness.
I always have strawberry lemonade when my family visits Chili's restaurants in the USA. Made this and everyone in my family agrees that this is close enough to fill in the gaps between visits.
Sooo BOMB! I just made this but it took me 8 lemons! So purchase a bag. Delicious and simple
it really just tasted like stwarberrys and water so I added a BUNCH of sugar and I taste no lemon
This recipe is delicious. I did do as some other reviewers did and added a few more strawberries and 2 tbs more sugar when puréeing the strawberries. I'll definitely make again.
I did one cup of lemon juice and half the sugar and little less water, to fit my pitcher. Also, I added fresh basil and blended it with the strawberries. So good!
I made this with raspberrys instead of strawberries because I didn't have eny and it turned out amazing
This is a really great beverage to make. It was very easy and it turned out amazing.
I liked it but i think there was way too much lemon juice, Maybe lay off about 3 cups of lemon juice, and maybe add more water, other than that it was ok
Sooooo easy to make. It uses everyday simple things. I could never get tired of this.
Super easy to make. I only used 1 cup of lemon juice as that's all I had and I used 1/2 cup sugar to start with. Way too sweet for me. I stopped at the 1/2 cup sugar. I did add more strawberries for a stronger color and flavor. My husband gave it a 10 ( he does have a sweeter tooth than I) I left it to his taste and added water to my cup and it was perfect.
