- 2 cups fresh strawberries hulled and sliced (frozen can work in a pinch)
- 1 cup freshly squeezed lemon juice approximately 6-8 lemons
- 3/4 cup granulated sugar or 1/2 cup honey for a natural alternative
- 4 cups cold water
- 2 cups club soda or sparkling water
- ice cubes for serving
- fresh mint leaves for garnish
- strawberry slices and lemon wheels for garnish
Place the hulled strawberries in a blender or food processor and pulse until smooth. For a truly silky texture, pulse in 10-second intervals rather than continuous blending.
In a large pitcher, combine the freshly squeezed lemon juice and sugar. Stir vigorously until the sugar dissolves completely. If using honey instead, warm it slightly to help it incorporate more smoothly.
Add the cold water to the lemon-sugar mixture and stir well. Then fold in the strawberry puree gently using a silicone spatula with a figure-eight motion. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to marry.
Just before serving, add the club soda or sparkling water to the pitcher and stir gently—just 2-3 rotations with a long spoon to avoid flattening your fizz.
Pour the Strawberry Lemonade Fizz over ice-filled glasses, garnish with fresh strawberry slices, lemon wheels, and a sprig of mint. Gently tap the mint between your palms before garnishing to release aromatic oils.
For a healthier version, try using stevia or monk fruit sweetener to reduce calories by 75%.
Add carbonation only to portions you're serving immediately to maintain the fizz.
The base mixture (without carbonation) can be stored in an airtight container for up to 3 days in the refrigerator.
Freeze the base into popsicle molds for a delightful frozen treat (omit club soda for better freezing).
