Ingredients
Main Ingredients
- 2 cup fresh strawberries, hulled
- 0.5 cup granulated sugar
- 1 cup fresh lemon juice from about 6 lemons
- 2 cup cold water
- 1 cup whiskey (bourbon or rye)
- 4 cup ice cubes
- 1 cup club soda optional, for fizz
- 0.5 cup sliced strawberries optional, for garnish
- 4 slice lemon optional, for garnish
- 4 sprig fresh mint optional, for garnish
Instructions
Preparation Steps
- In a large pitcher, combine the strawberries and sugar. Stir well and let sit 5 minutes until the berries release some juice.
- Transfer the strawberries and any juices to a blender. Add the lemon juice and 1.0 cup of the cold water. Blend until completely smooth.
- Strain the mixture through a fine-mesh sieve back into the pitcher, pressing on the solids to extract as much liquid as possible. Discard the pulp.
- Stir in the whiskey and the remaining 1.0 cup cold water. Add the ice and stir until well chilled.
- To serve, fill glasses with ice and pour the strawberry whiskey lemonade. Top each glass with a splash of club soda if desired and garnish with sliced strawberries, a lemon slice, and a mint sprig.
- Taste and adjust to preference: add a bit more water for a lighter sip or a touch more sugar for extra sweetness.
Notes
Use a smooth bourbon for a rounder flavor or rye for a spicier kick. For make-ahead, prepare through straining and stir in whiskey just before serving. Keep the base chilled up to 24 hours.
