Sparkling Lemonade Ingredients

I know, you don’t really need to mess with lemonade because it is the perfect beverage for hot summer days. This sparkling lemonade is a little special because it is made with sparking water and fresh berries in addition to sugar and lemon juice. Top it off with a garnish of fresh lemon slices or a lemon wedge and that is it!

I don’t sweeten this homemade strawberry lemonade too much but sometimes it is a special treat to dress up the lemonade with some fresh fruit, like farm fresh strawberries or strawberry slices. An unsweetened version is perfect for healthy breakfasts at home.

This is one of my favourite summer drinks or you might want to serve it at a BBQ, a special occasion like baby showers, a bridal shower or add it to the menu planning with your other favourite brunch recipes. There are so many reasons to serve this tasty non-alcoholic drink or mocktail. The pink hue and strawberry flavour makes this drink the perfect way to celebrate something special.

How to Make this Bubbly Strawberry Lemonade

For this drink, I made strawberry lemonade as usual, but used sparkling water (or Sodastream carbonated water or club soda) instead of normal tap water. You can dress with up with a berry or lemon garnish to be fancy. Then suddenly, I you have the most amazingly fresh lemonade you ever had.

Instead of the sugar you can try substituting a simple syrup as the sweetener.

If you are looking to spice it up a little, an “adult” version of this drink would be great with a shot or two of vodka in it or even used as a punch with a ton of fresh fruit in it for a summer gathering. You can even add in some sparkling champagne instead of the sparkling water. How are you going to make this drink your own?
