Strawberry Lavender Lemonade (All Natural)

This Strawberry Lavender Lemonade is everything you didn’t know your summer needed: sweet, tart, calming, and naturally pink (no dyes).

Strawberries bring the juicy brightness, and lavender syrup adds a soft, floral note that instantly elevates the whole thing. It’s poolside-ready, nap-time-refreshing, and fancy enough for your next brunch or baby shower — yet simple enough to whip up on a Tuesday afternoon.

No artificial flavors, no weird powders. Just real ingredients and a little simmering.

Ingredients:

🍓For the strawberry base:

1 cup fresh or frozen strawberries, hulled and sliced
1/4 cup water
1 tablespoon lemon juice
Optional: 1–2 teaspoons honey (if your berries are extra tart)

🍋 For the lemonade:

3/4 cup fresh-squeezed lemon juice (about 4–5 lemons)
3–4 tablespoons My Lavender Syrup (adjust to taste)
2–3 cups cold water or sparkling water
Ice, for serving
Extra strawberries + lemon slices, for garnish

Instructions:

Make the strawberry base: In a small saucepan, combine strawberries, water, and lemon juice. Simmer for 5–7 minutes, or until the berries are soft and syrupy. Use a fork or spoon to mash them slightly, then strain through a fine mesh sieve to get a smooth, vibrant puree. Let it cool.
Mix the lemonade: In a pitcher, combine the fresh lemon juice, strawberry puree, and My Lavender Syrup. Add 2–3 cups of cold water (or sparkling water if you’re going for bubbly) and stir well.
Taste & tweak: Add more syrup for extra floral sweetness, more lemon if you want a sharper punch. You’re the mixologist here.
Serve with style: Pour over ice, garnish with strawberry slices, lemon wheels, and a sprig of lavender.

Why You’ll Love It:

All-natural, no dye needed: The strawberries give it a gorgeous blush tone on their own.
Make-ahead friendly: Both the syrup and strawberry puree can be prepped in advance.
Kid-approved, adult-worthy: Sweet enough for toddlers, elevated enough for grown-up tastebuds.

Bonus Tip: Turn it into a Strawberry Lavender Lemonade Cocktail

Add a splash of sparkling water for a mocktail version that feels extra fancy. Or for adult gatherings, a shot of vodka or gin turns this into a floral strawberry spritz you’ll want all season long.

If you’ve got My Lavender Syrup on hand, this lemonade comes together fast — and turns an everyday moment into something worth pausing for.

Happy Sipping,
