The simple syrup can be made ahead of time and stored in your refrigerator to make it even easier to whip up a batch at a moment’s notice or when you are planning ahead to make for a party. Party prep ahead of time could not be easier.

There is just nothing better on a warm afternoon than a cool glass of lemonade, and this Strawberry Lemonade definitely takes it up a notch. The sweetness of the strawberries mingled with the tartness of the lemons makes a practically perfect treat in my opinion. Of course you can adjust the level of sweetness to your taste by adding more water or sugar, or increase either the strawberries for a richer pink or more lemons for even more tartness. It is entirely up to you!
