Hi guys! How was your Memorial Day weekend? I’m sure you had a wonderful one! We had a pretty awesome week at Disney-world, which was super crazy considering it is the season. And the heat was quite a lot to handle. Besides some pretty cool rides, the other awesome thing that I can remember is that amazing Dole whip which brought so much respite while waiting in never-ending queues.
It is not any better here in Louisiana, I know I’m going to be preparing lots of limeades, lemonades, iced teas, milkshakes, and other summer coolers!
Today, I’d like to share this fresh strawberry limeade recipe. The perfect summer beverage to beat the heat. Pour yourself a tall glass and sit on your porch, or by the poolside and enjoy this refreshing drink.

WHAT DO YOU NEED TO MAKE STRAWBERRY LIMEADE?
You will need the following ingredients to make strawberry limeade,
- Fresh strawberries (frozen will work too)
- Freshly squeezed lime juice
- Sugar, you could sweeten the limeade with stevia for a sugar-free alternative
- Cold water/club soda/sprite/lemon-lime soda
The hardest part about making this strawberry limeade is prepping up the ingredients i.e hulling and chopping up the strawberries and squeezing out the lime juice. Once that is taken care of then you only need to blend the chopped strawberries, lime juice, and sugar.
Pour this strawberry lime concentrate in a pitcher, and top it with water or sprite or lemon-lime soda, whatever you fancy. 3 cups of liquid is just about the perfect as it doesn’t dilute the lime and strawberry flavor.
You can also convert this recipe into alcoholic strawberry limeade for grown-ups by adding a splash of vodka, strawberry vodka, tequila, white or coconut rum, Gran Marnier etc, whatever you prefer.
This strawberry limeade is perfectly tart with a touch of sweet. Do try it out!

STEP BY STEP INSTRUCTIONS TO MAKE STRAWBERRY LIMEADE
1.Add 3/4 cup of lime juice, approximately 2 cups sliced strawberries, 1/2 cup sugar in a blender. Blend the ingredients to a smooth puree.
2.Pour the contents of the blender in a pitcher and top with liquid of choice. Stir well.
3.To serve, fill the glass halfway with ice cubes, add a couple of strawberry and lemon slices, pour the strawberry limeade. Garnish with strawberry slices and fresh mint. Enjoy!
NOTES
- You can adjust the taste of the limeade by adding more lime juice or sugar if desired.
- You may add more or less of water/club soda/sprite/ lemon-lime soda etc. 3 cups was perfect for us.
- If using aerated beverages to dilute the lime-strawberry puree, do so at the time of serving. You can prepare the strawberry-lime puree in advance, and mix it up before serving.
- I’ve not strained the strawberry puree as I don’t find the seeds bothersome. If you intend straining the puree, then blend the strawberries and sugar with 1/2 cup water instead of lime juice. Strain the puree in a pitcher, then add lime juice and top with water/sprite etc. Stir it well.
