Strawberry Limeade
Strawberry Limeade blends fresh quartered strawberries with fresh lime juice, sugar, and cold water for a refreshing bright drink. The berries are pureed to release flavor and combined with lime’s tartness and a variable amount of sugar to balance sweetness. Served over ice with optional lime slices, it makes a vivid, fruity beverage suitable for warm days or casual gatherings.
