Homemade Strawberry Lemonade
If you are a fan of Wendy’s Strawberry lemonade or Starbucks strawberry lemonade then you are going to love this tasty summer drink! Although it was the Red Robin’s strawberry lemonade with chunks of strawberries in it that was the motivation for creating this delicious strawberry lemonade. I love being able to make my favorite restaurant foods at home!
This easy lemonade recipe is even better then those though, because you can make it at home and don’t have to leave the house! Aside from that I also think this easy homemade strawberry lemonade recipe tastes better then any of the others!

Fresh or Frozen Strawberries
You can make this easy lemonade recipe with frozen strawberries or fresh strawberries. Personally I prefer to use frozen strawberries when making this strawberry lemonade drink. If you are buying frozen strawberries for this tasty summer drink, make sure you buy the unsweetened ones.
I have a tendency to buy lots of strawberries when I see them on sale for dirt cheap and then I end up wondering what to make with fresh strawberries. Thankfully there are lots of things to make with fresh strawberries or I can freeze them because strawberries freeze really well. What I like to do is freeze strawberries and later use them in recipes like this fresh strawberry lemonade.
Recipe Alterations
If you are buying fresh strawberries then you can freeze them and then use them or you can use them fresh.
If you want to get fancy you can make some lemon sugar and dip the rim of the glasses in it before pouring your homemade lemonade into the glass.
When serving this lemon strawberry summer drink I like to make it fancy by adding a strawberry to the top of the glass and some thin slices of fresh lemon after pouring it into the glasses. I also like to add a fancy straw like the fun paper straws that you can find at the dollar store.
You can also easily turn this into a strawberry lemonade cocktail by adding a splash of vodka! But keep that pitcher just for the moms and dads!
