Making Strawberry Pink Lemonade Drink Recipe In My Kitchen

Pink Strawberry Lemonade Recipe Making the perfect summer time drinkFresh Strawberries and my summer time drinkMaking my favorite Summer drink in my VitaMixStrawberry Drink with my VitamixFavorite Pink Lemonade Drink RecipeStrawberry Lemonade Recipe For Y'allMy recipe for the Nordstrom Pink LemonadeStrawberry Pink Lemonade Recipe Plus Cute Casual Outfit

Hi! I can’t believe this is my first time having Ya’ll officially in my kitchen. Welcome! A couple of weeks ago Nordstrom shared their famous pink lemonade recipe and I had to make it. It totally had me missing lunches there so of course, I started making one basically a day. Well after making it every day for a couple of weeks I have fine-tuned it. My strawberry pink lemonade is just the right amount of tart and sweet. This is quickly becoming my favorite drink for summer days. It would make a really good drink for all the summer barbeques. Just add a shot of vodka and mix well. I am also trying a new orange drink that for sure is becoming one of my favorites; you can click here to learn about orangina.

Okay here’s the recipe. I am such a rule follower so I love recipes with exact measurements and directions. So you can totally expect exact directions. Check out my Instagram for a video of me making this too! It should be fun!

Here’s what you need

-Fresh Strawberries (If you want your lemonade to be similar in texture to the fruit in Starbucks berry drinks freeze your strawberries for about 20-30 minutes.)

-Ice

-Fresh Lemons

-Lemonade

-Sugar

Directions

  • Puree your chilled/frozen strawberries (about 6) with a teaspoon of brown sugar. You won’t use all of the strawberry puree, but you can store the rest of it in a mason jar and use it for your next strawberry lemonade.
  • Fill your cup almost full with ice.
  • Add 2 Tablespoons of frozen strawberry puree to your cup filled with ice.
  • Add lemonade to almost the top.
  • Stir the lemonade and strawberry puree till it’s mixed.
  • Cut a lemon round to put on the straw.
  • If you want to make it a grown-up summer cocktail add a shot of vodka (I like Grey Goose!) and stir.
  • Add your lid and drink.

Notes

  • You can adjust this recipe to make a big pitcher of Pink Strawberry Lemonade.
  • Refrigerate Lemon before cutting. It keeps the shape more.
  • Add the lemon slices on the top of the pitcher or you can leave them to the side on a tray.
  • Freeze strawberries for 30 minutes before pureeing.

 

Let me know if you try it and love it! Leave a comment I would love to know. Leave your favorite summertime drink or cocktail comment below. Happy almost summertime!

This weekend we plan on hanging with our babies and playing outside. I hope you have a good week!

Good morning! Memorial Day weekend is almost here and I’m rounding up all the sales. I also wanted to share this fun red white and blue number. I love wearing outfits like this that feel so classic. Plus who doesn’t love an outfit full of seperates. It just makes it so much more versatile. I’ve worn this tee with skirts, shorts, and white jeans. I could talk about outfits like this for days, but I will leave it at I really love outfits that are full of great basics and that never go out of style. This MarleyLilly bag is one of my favorites but they have lots of super cute monogrammed items. What are Ya’ll doing this weekend to celebrate? I think we are staying close to home and probably getting out the inflatable pool.

Alright, let’s shop Memorial Day Sales!
