Strawberry Lemonade

Think of this drink as the Elle Woods of lemonades: It’s pretty in pink, but there’s a lot going on underneath.

That’s because the recipe calls for the whole lemon! It is a well-balanced drink because the sweetness of the fresh strawberries and the tartness of the lemon juice are tempered by the bitterness of the lemon’s pith.

Like Elle, this drink is smart: It uses less sugar because it knows the sweet berries naturally balance out the sour citrus.

All you need to do is hull the berries and halve the lemons to seed them and cut into large chunks. Your blender does the rest, leaving you free to enjoy a summer day in style.
