Ingredients
1.5 cups fresh strawberries (hulled and halved)

1/2 cup fresh lemon juice (about 4 lemons)
1 teaspoon lemon zest
1/3 cup honey or simple syrup (adjust to taste)
3 cups cold water
1 cup ice cubes
Fresh pineapple wedges and strawberry slices for garnish
Instructions

2. Strain the fruit puree through a fine mesh sieve into a large pitcher and discard all solids.
3. Pour in fresh lemon juice and add lemon zest.
4. Add honey or simple syrup and cold water.
5. Stir everything together until well combined.

7. Fill glasses with ice cubes, pour the lemonade over the ice, garnish with pineapple wedges and serve immediately.
Notes
Fresh pineapple gives the brightest and most vibrant tropical flavor — use it when in season.
Frozen pineapple chunks work perfectly year round and deliver a consistently sweet result.
Strain the blended fruit puree thoroughly for the smoothest and most polished lemonade texture.
The warm golden-pink color of this lemonade looks beautiful and tropical in clear tall glasses.
Store in the fridge for up to 2 days — stir well before serving as separation occurs naturally.
