Ingredients & Variations
STRAWBERRIES Buy canned strawberries in syrup or frozen will do. Just make sure that the frozen ones are defrosted before adding to this recipe.
LEMONADE Buy a can of frozen Minute Maid lemonade – either pink or yellow will do.
VARIATIONS Try making this a cocktail drink by adding a little vodka. Or swap out the strawberries for raspberries, blackberries, or a mix of all your favorite berries.
How to Make Freckled Lemonade
Serve up this sweet drink for when the summer heat hits.
- Add ice to a glass.
- Add strawberries (per recipe below).
- Pour lemonade into the glass.
Garnish with lemon before serving and then sit back and enjoy sipping on this sweet summer drink!
Tips for Ice Cold Lemonade
- Can’t find strawberries in syrup. Remove frozen strawberries from the freezer, place them in a bowl, and sprinkle with sugar. Allow them to sit overnight. They will melt and the juice will become as sweet as syrup.
- Serve these in tall fun glasses, tuck in a straw, line the rim with sugar, add a slice of lemon, and a strawberry. Serve and enjoy!
