Almost-Famous Strawberry Lemonade
Copycat Red Robin Strawberry Freckled Lemonade
Total Time: 45 min
Prep: 45 min
Yield: 6 drink
Ingredients
- Zest of 1 lemon, in wide strips
- 2 cups sugar
- 2 cups chopped hulled strawberries
- 2 cups fresh lemon juice (from about 10 large lemons)
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
Directions
- Make the lemon syrup: Bring the lemon zest, 1 1/2 cups sugar and 1 1/2 cups water to a boil in a medium saucepan, stirring, until the sugar dissolves; let cool to room temperature.
- Meanwhile, make the strawberry syrup: Toss the strawberries and the remaining 1/2 cup sugar in a bowl and let sit at room temperature until the sugar dissolves, about 45 minutes. Strain the strawberry mixture; reserve the strawberry syrup and berries separately.
- Make the lemonade: Combine the lemon juice, lemon syrup, salt and 2 cups cold water in a pitcher. For each drink, put about 1 tablespoon of the strawberry syrup in a tall glass. Fill with ice, then top with the lemonade and some of the reserved strawberries.
