A bright, bubbly, and perfectly balanced homemade summer punch combining fresh strawberries, tangy lemonade, and sparkling water for a fuss-free, crowd-pleasing party drink.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups fresh strawberries, hulled and sliced
  • ยฝ cup granulated sugar (or honey/agave syrup as substitute)
  • 1 cup fresh lemon juice (about 45 lemons)
  • 2 cups water
  • 4 cups cold lemonade (homemade or store-bought)
  • 2 cups sparkling water or club soda
  • Ice cubes
  • Fresh mint leaves (a handful) for garnish
  • Lemon slices for garnish (optional)

Instructions

  1. Rinse and hull about 2 cups of fresh strawberries. Toss them into the blender with ยฝ cup of granulated sugar. Pulse until mostly smooth but still a bit chunky for texture. Taste and adjust sweetness if needed.
  2. Juice 4-5 lemons to yield about 1 cup of fresh lemon juice. Remove any seeds.
  3. In a large pitcher, combine the strawberry puree, lemon juice, and 2 cups of water. Stir well to blend flavors evenly.
  4. Pour in 4 cups of cold lemonade and 2 cups of sparkling water or club soda. Gently stir to mix, taking care not to lose all the fizz.
  5. Add plenty of ice cubes and garnish with fresh mint leaves and lemon slices. Optionally, freeze some strawberries into ice cubes ahead of time and add those for a colorful touch.
  6. Serve immediately for best fizz and flavor. If making ahead, keep chilled and add sparkling water just before serving.

Notes

Add sparkling water just before serving to keep the fizz lively. Adjust sweetness and tartness by tasting and adding more sugar, lemonade, or lemon juice as needed. For a chunkier texture, pulse strawberries less. Freeze some strawberries in ice cubes for extra flair. Can add vodka or rum for an adult version. Keep punch base refrigerated up to 2 days; add sparkling water and ice before serving.
