Ingredients
1 ¼lbstrawberrieswashed & cut in halves, about 4 cups
2lemonswashed and quartered (use limes to make strawberry limeade)
~ ½- ¾ cup honey or sugar to tasteadjust based on your preference and sweetness of strawberries

Method 2 (this one helps make the straining easier and keeps all strawberry goodness):
First blend only the strawberries with the honey and 1 cup of water. You don’t need to strain this, it’s better to keep all the strawberries goodness. Then place the blended strawberries mix in a pitcher.
Then in the same blender, you don’t need to wash or rinse it, blend the quartered lemons with the 1-2 cups of water.
Strain the lemon mix into the pitcher, mix well and add the rest of the water. Taste and adjust sweetness level if needed.
Serve as indicated above.

Notes
For a refreshing summer cocktail, add your choice of alcohol. You can use vodka, tequila, rum and even cachaça – for a quick strawberry caipirihna. You can also mix the strained mixed with white wine or sparkling wine, instead of the additional 4 cups of water, for delicious strawberry sangria.
