Almost Famous Strawberry Lemonade
My family went to a local U-Pick strawberry farm last weekend and I have been churning out strawberry recipes for days. So for June I will write about all things strawberry! I’ll start with this spot-on copycat recipe for Red Robin Restaurant’s Freckled Lemonade.
You can find this recipe in the May 2012 issue of Food Network Magazine or at the Food Network website. According to Food Network Magazine, Red Robin serves up 420,000 gallons of this drink each year. It’s very lemony, super sweet, and topped with strawberries. My family loves it!
First you make two syrups: lemon and strawberry. You make the lemonade by combining lemon juice with the lemon syrup, salt, and cold water. I recommend doubling the amount of water used. It will still be very sweet. To make individual drinks you put a tablespoon of the strawberry syrup in a glass. Fill the glass with ice, top with the lemonade, and a spoonful of strawberries.
Here we are with twelve pounds of red, ripe strawberries! Only two cups went into this lemonade recipe. Soon I will post about our other creations including cake, pie, jam, and ice cream!
Do you have a favorite recipe for strawberries? Let me know!
Well, I have a couple Strawberry recipes posted up on my blog that I’ve found to be quite tasty~ But of everything, I must say, my tweaked and fiddled version of a Strawberry Bread recipe keeps my heart~ <3
Strawberry bread sounds really good. Thanks!
Sounds like a very refreshing lemonade!
We think so
very pretty!
Thanks!
Looks delicious. Now that strawberries are in season again I would love to try this! Here is one of my favorites during strawberry season.

Your strawberry shortcake looks fabulous! I love it!
Thanks, it’s a variation of a Vegetarian Times recipe. I love it and so does my family. I hope you get the chance to try it with the yogurt cream and all!
Yum! Strawberry lemonade!! It seems that everyone has been picking strawberries lately… but I’m afraid of spiders. And spiders love strawberry patches. So I just have to let other people pick them for me
I didn’t see any spiders! I keep thinking in my head though that it looks like the perfect home for a snake, lol! The rows are pretty wide though and we all came out fine
Ooo looks perfect for a sunny day. We had a sunny day today in the UK, I fear that may be the last till August., Perhaps if I made this I could pretend it’s sunny.
Is there really that few sunny days?
We have a fair bit of sun, but we’re British and we like to moan about the weather, a lot.
that’s funny
This must be delightfully refreshing! I love your combination of flavours.
Thank you! We really enjoy this.
I’ve gone strawberry crazy lately too! Just posted a little recipe on my blog. Great if you have kids!
