How To Make Sparkling Strawberry Lemonade:
Step 1. Blend strawberries in a blender until completely smooth. If using frozen make sure to thaw them first. Option to strain the berries of any seeds or pulp.
Step 2. In a 12 cup or larger pitcher add lemonade, Sprite, and strawberry puree. Stir to combine and serve right away over ice filled cups or place in the refrigerator. When ready to serve add optional lemon and strawberry slices.
Can I make this ahead of time?
Yes! To preserve the fizz you'll want to add the soda to the lemonade and strawberry puree no longer than 30-minutes before serving.
Will The Leftovers Stay Fresh?
Sparkling Strawberry Lemonade will still have a refreshing delicious taste up to 3 days! However, the fizz will have gone flat.
