What You’ll Need to Make Strawberryade:
Ingredients:
- 16 ounces (or two cups) fresh strawberries
- Pink Lemonade Crystal Light
- water
How to Make Strawberryade:
Wash and cut the tops off of your strawberries. If a few make it into your mouth, I won’t tell. 🙂
Toss them into your blender, and puree that until it’s all good and liquified.
Put a few inches of water in a two quart pitcher.
Add your Pink Lemonade mix to the water…
…and stir that up until it is dissolved.
Stir in the strawberry puree from the blender.
Fill the pitcher the rest of the way with cold water and stir.
Serve over ice.
If you make this a few hours before, the seeds will fall to the bottom. If you serve immediately, you can strain the seeds out if you prefer, or just leave them!
This reminds me of a Strawberry Julius with a bit of a zesty kick to it! Strawberry is definitely the dominant flavor!

That looks delish! I would love to try some! It makes me think of Egypt. I’ve never actually been to Egypt, but from movies and accounts of people who’ve been, apparently strawberry juice is an extrememly popular treat there!
I have a half whiskey barrel with strawberries in it. There’s usually just enough for one or two per day, if I manage to beat the birds and bugs to them!
I’ve seen those peanut butter glasses in antique malls! I have a weakness for jelly jar glasses. They just seem the perfect size and weight for me. You can usually find them at thrift stores for about 25 cents each!
They used to sell jam in glass jars which could be used as tumblers when empty. They were recognizable by the diamond pattern on the bottom. I don’t think they sell them anymore but not too long ago when I was at my friend’s house I was having a drink and I asked her “this is from a jam bottle?” Yep it was!
My grandmother has those! As kids we thought they were the coolest. She also had the cinnamon and sugar shakers that had little characters on them. =)
How delicious! A definite beverage for this holiday weekend! And sugar free to boot! Thanks for the history on Mama Reed’s ice tea glasses. I have the sherbets (handed down) and had no idea they originally held peanut butter!!! I love to daily use dishes, glassware, etc that has been handed down and not save it for only “special” occasions. I enjoy using a bit of “history” everyday!
Wishing you a special, bountiful day!
I figured it must involve crystal light. Thanks for the recipe. I’m a big crystal light fan and I have strawberries in my garden.
STRAWBERRIES IN YOUR GARDEN???????????????
I am so coming to live with you!!!!
If you like Crystal Light, have you tried the Cherry Limeade mix from Wal Mart? It is their generic brand and WOW is that stuff ever good!
My mother and I have it coursing through our veins at this point, we’ve drank so much!
Real pink lemonade! It looks good, I’ll have to remember it for later in the year when it comes to summer for us.
You are so lucky to be in summer. We’ve had storms for the last two weeks.
Oh honey, I can sympathize a bit though! At the start of our summer (when we were trying to move) we had about a month of rain. I was waiting on Noah to pull up and the squirrels to start lining up two by two!
I need sunshine. It keeps me happy 🙂
Our winters are pretty mild in all honesty but these winds have been crazy. I went to my new house on Monday and there was a puddle of water inside by the entry. With all the wind and rain the tiny crack between the door and frame allthat water managed to get in over the course of a day.
Holy cow this looks GOOD! I wish we were having folks over for the 4th just so I could make it. I guess the task will have to fall on hubby and me to take care of it. *wink* I’ll have to start looking for a glass pitcher now because how pretty would that gorgeous strawberry color look in one!
Now you’re gonna go and get the purty glass pitcher and everything! ~sniff~
~giggle~
It really is. This is one of those recipes that it kills me thinking some of you might not try it, it’s THAT good!
I’m gonna have to make me some more today I think…
That looks easy enough. 🙂 I just need a blender. I wonder how Edward would like it; he loves strawberries.
Do you make strawberry smoothies?
I used to drink these all the time when I was a kid. Just milk and strawberries whizzed together.
OR….really naughty treat (for yourself, not Edward 😉 )
Sliced strawberries and condensed milk. The condensed milk goes all pink from the strawberry juice.
You could always cut them up a bit with a knife and smoosh ’em with a fork! Making do makes it better! lol
OOH Su, and take frozen strawberries, add two packs of splenda or equal and some milk,blend and WOW!
