Strawberry Limeade is a refreshing summer drink made with freshly-squeezed lime juice, pureed strawberries, and simple syrup. It’s fresh, tangy, fruity and the perfect way to beat the heat.

Summer with its ominous heat is just around the corner and if there’s something we should always remember to do, it’s hydrate, hydrate, hydrate! Southern California weather can get pretty overbearing during these warmer months but luckily, fresh fruits to turn into refreshing drinks such as this strawberry limeade are aplenty.  Lazy sips (or greedy gulps, in my case) of this Strawberry limeade are truly one of the best parts of summer.

It’s fresh, tangy, fruity and the perfect way to beat the heat! Just the kind of drink you enjoy by the poolside while you lounge all day long. And easy to make, too! Just simple syrup, pureed strawberries, and citrus juice stirred and served over ice, and you’re on your way to bliss.

This strawberry limeade is all about fresh ingredients. Please do not be tempted to use bottled lime juice. Although convenient, the flavor is just not the same as freshly-squeezed. To get the most juice out of your limes, make sure they’re at room temperature and roll them a few times on a flat surface before squeezing.

I made the drink pretty tart and sweet as the added ice will naturally dilute the mixture. You can, of course, add more cold water to adjust to your taste. And BTW, if you’re looking for a more grown-up treat, a healthy splash of vodka or tequila won’t hurt. ?

    I’m jealous of your fresh fruits! Here in Idaho, we do get the strawberries, but limes definitely don’t grow here. I’ll have to pick some up from the store– I know my kids will love this!

    Summer is sorted with this little sip! That looks gorgeous and I can almost taste it just looking at it. Even though it’s cold and rainy and horrible outside my window right now I’d still love one of these for a taste of summer! 🙂

    I make lemonade all the time and add all sorts of different fruit to it, sometimes ginger too, so I am so in love with this recipe!
