Recipe Hack: Red Robin Strawberry Lemonade
I’m so glad summer is here because I get to relax and sit by the pool with this nice cold drink – strawberry lemonade. It’s refreshing and has a balance of sweet and sour. Anyone can make and tweak this into their own, and that’s one thing I love about it. I hope you get to try it as I’m sure your hubby and kids will enjoy it, too. 
Ingredients
- About 12 large fresh strawberries
- 9 - 10 lemons
- 2 cups sugar
- 1 1/2 cups water
Instructions
- Squeeze juice out of lemons. Save the rinds of one lemon. Refrigerate.
- In a saucepan, bring water, 1 1/2 cup sugar, and saved lemon rind to a boil, stirring regularly to dissolve sugar. Set syrup aside to cool.
- Chop the strawberries into large chunks.
- Add the remaining 1/2 cup sugar to strawberries. Mix well and set aside for about 45 minutes.
- Strain the strawberries out. Refrigerate the strawberries until ready to serve.
- In a pitcher, combine lemon juice, syrup and strawberry syrup. Refrigerate.
- When ready to serve, add about a tablespoon of strained strawberries to the drink for extra flavor and garnishing.
