Liquid Alchemist Strawberry Syrup Lemonade (Sparkling or Still)

How to Make Liquid Alchemist Strawberry Syrup Lemonade (Sparkling or Still)

1. 1

   Step 1: Juice the lemons

   Roll and halved fresh lemons, then juice until you have about 3/4 cup (180 ml) of lemon juice. Strain if you prefer a very clear lemonade; keep pulp if you like more texture.

   For this step

   • 3/4 cupFresh lemon juice
   
2. 2

   Step 2: Combine lemon juice and syrup

   In a pitcher, whisk together the fresh lemon juice and Liquid Alchemist Strawberry Syrup until fully blended. Taste and adjust—add a little more syrup for sweeter lemonade or a splash more lemon for extra tang.

   For this step

   • 1 cupLiquid Alchemist Strawberry Syrup
   
3. 3

   Step 3: Add water and chill

   Pour in 2 cups (480 ml) cold sparkling or still water and gently stir to combine. If using sparkling water, stir carefully to preserve fizz. Add ice to the pitcher or wait to fill individual glasses to avoid diluting too quickly.

   For this step

   • 2 cupsCold sparkling water or still water
   • 2 cupsIce cubes

   • 8 piecesFresh strawberries (for garnish, optional)
   • 4 slicesLemon slices (for garnish)
   • 4 sprigsMint sprigs (optional)
