Sparkling Strawberry Lemonade

I hope everyone had a fabulous holiday weekend! Our 4th of July celebration included this yummy little drink, sparkling strawberry lemonade. Very easy to make yet extremely delicious, the whole family loved it! 

This is a perfect drink for a barbecue and goes well with just about anything...burgers, dogs, chicken, you name it! Have it at your next shindig and let me know what you think.

Ingredients:
1 1/2 cups pure cane sugar, divided
4 cups water
2 cups fresh strawberries, cleaned and hulled
1 cup fresh lemon juice, from about 5 lemons
Club Soda

In a small saucepan combine 1 cup each of the sugar and water and cook over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until the sugar dissolves. Set aside to cool slightly.

In a blender combine the remaining 3 cups water, 1/2 cup of sugar and the strawberries and blend until smooth. Transfer the strawberry mixture to a large pitcher. Add the cooled syrup and lemon juice and stir to combine. Refrigerate until cold, at least one hour. 

Just before serving, add about a cup and a half of club soda to the lemonade and stir. (Feel free to add more if you'd like) Add ice cubes and serve.

Bon Appetit!
