Easy homemade strawberry lemonade made with all natural ingredients. Y’all are going to love this lemonade recipe!

A large glass pitcher and wine glass filled with strawberry lemonade and garnished with lemon slices and strawberries.

As promised, I’m back with another strawberry recipe. This time around we’re making easy strawberry lemonade, and we will be using fresh ingredients! This lemonade has quickly become one of my family and friends favorite drinks. They are always asking me to make this lemonade recipe whenever I host a cookout.

A wine glass filled to the brim with strawberry lemonade and chunks of ice. The glass is garnished with a lemon slice and strawberry.

This fresh strawberry lemonade recipe is easy to double, and even triple (which I have had to do SEVERAL times because one pitcher is never enough for my guests!).

If you enjoyed my strawberry lemonade, add these other strawberry recipes to your summer list:

  • Strawberry Banana Pudding
  • Strawberry Jello Poke Cake
  • Strawberry Pink Moscato Cake

If you’re like me and can’t eat strawberries, feel free to use this recipe and replace the strawberries with cherries! It’s just as good!

    I made this for myself this Momโ€™s Day. It tasted more strawberry than lemony but thatโ€™s easily remedied by adding more lemon juice. It was so refreshing and I was drinking so much that by the end of the day, I made a 2nd batch. I love your recipes. I print them but I add the Internet address because I need the visual of you making the dishes. Thank you, wonderful woman!

    Girl yes! I loved it. Next time I will strain it into my families glasses but it was simple and refreshing. I had a bag of whole frozen strawberries. I defrosted them and it worked fine with an imersion blender. Loved that I had everything on hand and simple syrip is a life saver when making drinks! Keep up the great work!

    Hi Rosie. I just love this Strawberry Lemonade. It is bright and refreshing. I used fresh strawberries and soaked them in a bowl with some sugar over them, just to get more juice out of my strawberries. I used that included with the simple syrup. I did strain some through a fine mesh strainer. But this recipe is the BOMB girl. Love your recipes.

    I have a question, Whenever I make lemonade, and add some slices of lemon, it always ends up being bitter, what can I do?

      Hi Amy, leave the slices our, andjust use the juice. The peel is probably too strong for you.
