All you need is a blender and a craving for something bright, refreshing, and a little bit fancy.
Skip the store-bought sugar bombs. This strawberry honey lemonade gets all its sweetness from nature’s candy: ripe strawberries and golden honey. That means no refined sugar, no weird additives—just antioxidants, vitamin C, and a healthy glow in every sip. It’s hydrating, energizing, and easy on your blood sugar. You might even call it spa water’s sassier cousin.
Kid-Friendly or Cocktail Ready
It’s wholesome enough for the whole family, but don’t let that stop you from leveling up. Add a splash of vodka, gin, Nowadays or even sparkling wine, and boom—you’ve got a grown-up version perfect for brunches, barbecues, or pretending it’s not a Tuesday.
Freeze It for Later (or Fancy It Up)
Want to take your strawberry honey lemonade game to the next level? Pour any leftovers into ice cube trays and freeze them. These fruity cubes are perfect for dropping into iced tea, sparkling water, or even a glass of rosé. They chill your drink without watering it down and add a pop of color and flavor that feels just a little bit extra—in the best way.
Blend, Sip, Repeat
