Betty's Refreshing Strawberry Lemonade

In this video, Betty demonstrates how to make Refreshing Strawberry Lemonade. We had this drink recently on our trip to Boone Tavern Hotel and Restaurant in Berea, Kentucky. It is gorgeous and delicious!

Ingredients:

¾ cup freshly squeezed lemon juice (I used 6 lemons to get the juice and lemon slices for garnish.)
1 ¼ cups sugar or your choice of sugar substitute
7 cups water in a pitcher
2 cups fresh strawberries, washed, capped, and halved
½ cup sugar or your choice of sugar substitute
fresh strawberry halves and lemon half-slices for garnish

Add ¾ cup lemon juice and 1 ¼ cups sugar or sugar substitute to 7 cups of water. Taste for flavor, and adjust to your taste, if needed. Add ice cubes to fill the pitcher of lemonade to the top. Place 2 cups of halved strawberries in a blender with ½ cup sugar or sugar substitute. Blend until the sweetened strawberries are liquefied. Place about 3 or 4 tablespoons of liquefied sweetened strawberries in the bottom of a tall, clear drinking glass. Add a straw and ice cubes most of the way to the top. Pour lemonade from the pitcher to cover ice cubes. Swirl the liquefied sweetened strawberries, using the straw. Place a garnish of strawberry halves and lemon half-slices on top. Serve immediately! I hope you find this drink refreshing! --Betty 

This looks so refreshing and elegant, yet so easy to do. Love it. I think I'd like this even as a cocktail with just adding maybe an ounce of vodka to it. Great summer time drink or cocktail for parties! Thanks Betty :)

@nr98001 You're welcome! Thanks for your sweet comment! Several people have mentioned that they would like a little vodka added. That would be great!
