Sparkling Strawberry Lemonade

This strawberry lemonade was a perfect easy to make summer drink. The combination of the sweet strawberries and the tart lemon is delicious and the club soda gives it a little fizz that makes it feel special. 


Ingredients: 
1 pint strawberries
2 cups lemon juice 1 cup water 
1 1/4 cup sugar 
2 cup club soda or sparkling water 


Directions:
1. Make a simple syrup by heating the water and sugar together in a medium sauce pan to a boil and then reducing heat. Stir occasionally until the sugar is melted. Then remove from heat and allow to cool. 
2. Clean strawberries and then puree in a blender.
3. In a pitcher combine the simple syrup, lemon juice, and pureed strawberries. Place in refrigerator.
4. Right before serving add the club soda or sparking water. Stir and pour into glasses. 5. Add a couple strawberries to each glass.
