How to Make Sparkling Strawberry Lemonade
- Microwave 3 large lemons for 1 minute to soften and increase juice yield.
- Juice the lemons; you should get about 1 cup of juice.
- In a small saucepan, combine 1 cup granulated sugar and 1/2 cup water.
- Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until the sugar dissolves completely and the mixture is clear.
- Let the sugar syrup cool completely.
- In a blender, combine the cooled sugar syrup, 2 cups fresh strawberries (hulled and sliced), and the lemon juice. Blend until smooth.
- Strain the puree through a fine-mesh sieve (optional, for a smoother texture).
- **To serve immediately:** Combine the strawberry puree and 4 cups chilled sparkling water in a pitcher. Serve over ice in tall glasses.
- **To refrigerate:** Store the strawberry puree in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days. When ready to serve, mix equal parts chilled puree and chilled sparkling water in a glass filled with ice.
