How To Sweeten Lemonade

This frozen strawberry lemonade is made with a simple syrup.

Basically, simple syrup is equal parts white sugar to water. You combine in a saucepan, warm through until the sugar has dissolved and allow to cool. That’s it!

By using simple syrup, the sweetness easily blends through the lemonade (versus just tossing in some sugar as is).

Half a cup of simple syrup was used here, but you can use more (or less), depending on your sweetness preference.

If you’d rather not use refined sugar, you can use honey or maple syrup and just add a little more cold water to loosen things. Just keep in mind that honey, especially, will impart a flavour to your lemonade.

Can I Add Alcohol?

If you want to make a lemonade cocktail, go right for it. Just keep in mind that the more liquid you add, the thinner your slushy lemonade will be.

To avoid this, you can reduce the amount of cold water you add.

A bourbon lemonade would be lovely. Other options are tequila, whiskey or vodka. Vodka will impart less flavour than the other liquors.

Tips To Make This Recipe

Use frozen sliced strawberries here. They add to the “frozen” factor of the drink and is what makes things thick and slushy. This is the best way to freeze strawberries.
If you enjoy things less tart, use less lemon juice and more cold water.
Like things less sweet? Reduce the simple syrup and replace with some cold water.
