Fresh Strawberry Lemonade
This fresh strawberry lemonade was adapted from a strawberry soup my family loves. Every time we serve it our guests joke about how delicious it would be as a drink, so… I transformed that soup into strawberry lemonade.
This is your classic lemonade turned up! It’s refreshing, citrus-y and light with a fresh strawberry flavor! I garnished it with diced strawberries and a slice of lemon. This would be delicious as a frozen drink as well.
