Looking for a refreshing and hydrating summer drink? This Strawberry Coconut Water Lemonade is the perfect blend of tangy, sweet, and tropical flavors that will keep you cool and satisfied all day long. Made with fresh strawberries, coconut water, and a hint of sparkling water, this lemonade is a delightful twist on a classic favorite. Plus, it’s quick and easy to make!

Ingredients:

• 1/2 cup water 💧
• 1/2 cup sugar 🍬
• 3/4 cup fresh-squeezed lemon juice (~4 lemons) 🍋
• 1 lb strawberries, trimmed and halved 🍓
• 2 cups coconut water (I like Vita Coco brand) 🥥
• Sparkling water (optional) ✨

Directions:

1️⃣ Make the Simple Syrup:
In a mason jar or glass bowl, combine the water and sugar. Microwave for 1 1/2 minutes. Carefully remove from the microwave and stir until all the sugar has dissolved. This creates a simple syrup that will sweeten your lemonade. Let it cool completely in the refrigerator. (Pro tip: Simple syrup can be made several days ahead of time, so you can have it ready to go!) ❄️

2️⃣ Blend the Strawberries and Lemon Juice:
In a blender, combine the fresh-squeezed lemon juice and halved strawberries. Blend until the mixture is very smooth. This will give your lemonade a vibrant, fruity base. 🍓🍋

3️⃣ Combine with Coconut Water and Sweeten:
Stir in the coconut water, then add the simple syrup to taste. I used about 1/4 cup plus 2 tablespoons of simple syrup, but feel free to adjust based on your preference and the natural sweetness of your strawberries. 🥥🍬

4️⃣ Chill and Serve:
Refrigerate the lemonade until you’re ready to serve. When serving, pour the lemonade into cups filled with ice and, if you like, top with sparkling water for a fizzy twist. Enjoy this refreshing drink on a hot day, and let the tropical flavors transport you to a sunny paradise! 🥤✨

Quick Tips:

• Make Ahead: Prepare the simple syrup in advance to save time.
• Serving Suggestion: Add a slice of lemon or a strawberry on the rim of the glass for a fun presentation.
• Adjust Sweetness: The sweetness can be tailored to your taste by adjusting the amount of simple syrup.
