Strawberry Limeade Ingredients
- 16 oz. fresh strawberries, hulled (stems removed)
- 3/4 cup fresh lime juice
- 1/3 cup agave nectar
- 2 cups water
- 1 liter club soda
- Ice, as needed
Instructions
- Blend the base: Add fresh strawberries, lime juice, agave nectar, and water into a blender. Blend on high speed until the mixture is smooth and liquid, ensuring the strawberries are fully pureed.
- Strain the mixture: Pour the blended strawberry lime mixture through a fine-mesh strainer into a large pitcher to remove seeds and pulp chunks, resulting in a smooth beverage base.
- Add fizz and chill: Stir in the liter of club soda to the pitcher gently to maintain the carbonation. Add ice cubes to chill the limeade thoroughly.
- Serve and enjoy: Pour the strawberry limeade into glasses over ice and serve immediately for the best refreshing taste.
Notes
- For a sweeter drink, adjust the amount of agave nectar to taste.
- Use fresh lime juice for the best vibrant flavor.
- You can substitute club soda with sparkling water or seltzer if preferred.
- If you prefer pulp in your drink, skip straining.
- For an adult version, a splash of vodka or rum pairs well with this limeade.
