Okay, so the name of this post is easy strawberry lemonade for one, but there are two glasses in this picture. The point is…you can make this a glass at a time, no need for a pitcher. I rarely make lemonade because, well, all the lemons. Making lemonade takes a lot of lemons, plus those pitchers take up a lot of space in the refrigerator and my refrigerator is kind of small.

My lack of lemonade makes me sad, because I über-love lemonade. I mean, I love sweet tea, but lemonade is my favorite summer drink. It makes me so happy. I know that sounds like a bit of an exaggeration, but there are few summertime traditions that are quite as exciting as cold, icy lemonade. Water is usually our drink of choice around here, but when there is lemonade I just. can’t. stop.

Especially when strawberries are involved. I’ve been yapping on and on about how much I love strawberries since they are in season now and this year I decided that I was going to give you guys as many strawberry recipes as I possibly could. Enter strawberry fluff and the most amazing strawberry pie that I’m going to bring you guys on Saturday (I know you guys will forgive me for two strawberry recipes in one week, right?) and now this strawberry lemonade.

So, obviously strawberry lemonade for one is a single-serving recipe. The best way to make it! I’ll warn you…it’s heavy on the lemon (because I love it tart!) but also heavy on the simple syrup (because I love it sweet!) and heavy on the beautiful pink deliciousness most of all. So now you can have lemonade-strawberry lemonade at that-whenever you want. And you don’t even need a pitcher!

So I give you…easy strawberry lemonade for one.

    Help. Help. Love your site. Love. Love. Read. Read. Recommend. I subscribed. Thanks. Thanks. Copied off the Southern Recipes. Great. Do the grocery shopping about once a month. Built my whole list around " the recipes.". Now that I have gone to the grocery have misplaced the recipes. Boo hiss. Could you email it to me. dcook@optilink.us. Somehow got on your site and subscribed and so enjoy it. I must rush out and get strawberries. I like me some lemonade too. I emailed you that your photograhy is stellar. I gave your site to a fellow foodie who used to live in East Ridge (we are both from Dalton) and he cussed me after he spent 6 hours reading each restaurant review. Well, I did it over 3 days. Now I have started one by one on the recipes but still looking for that Southern recipes I printed out and designed a grocery list with. Ha. Buttermilk? We have buttermilk? Husband asks. Yea, we do, at least for awhile. Where are those recipes. Dr. appt in Chatt. Went to Beast and Barrell. In the old Northshore Grill place. I was lamenting the loss of Northshore Grill till I got to B&B. You can't intimidate me with your 14 page beverage list. versus your one page menu. Ha. But keep it simple stupid. I went for the sampler. 6 different 2 oz. wines. Okay, like two glasses. I wasn't driving. Hubby then went for the beer sampler. 6 small glasses of beer served on a paddle. Out table looked like we should sign up for AA. Ha. But it was like we each had 2 drinks and well, eating. I ordered the antipasto platter. Great presentation. Terry got the pastramie sandwich with collard greens. Our server, Conselo, very nice. Right on. I mean a restaurant that has jerky du jour can't be bad. My platter was great, should have done me in but I was really hungry. Terry ate and ate and ordered a go box. I wasn't quiet done. The crab cakes beckoned. Now my husband used to live in Louisana and we've been a time or two, three, seven, I digress. These were great. No crumbs on my plate, well, plates, Terry however got a go box. He complained collards could have been cooked alittle longer. True southerner here and I agreed but great flavor, great bite. It was great. We were on the back deck and while couldn't see the river, the breeze wafted. Next day. Hubby at work and I explored the go box. You have to be Southern to get excited over left over collards but I was. Now the Pastramie was best I have ever had. I digress again. Anyway, if you could email me those recipes me and the buttermilk would be grateful and thanks.

    Looks delicious! I'd love to make this with my grandson this summer on a hot day. My only question...no added water? The ingredient amounts don't seem like they'd measure up to a full glass?

      Hi Jenny! Yes, you just add water to fill the glass. I will go back and edit the directions to make that more clear. I hope you and your grandson enjoy!
