Fresh strawberry drink recipes

It is officially the start of summer and friends, it’s already a hot one. Strawberries and summer go hand in hand – think about all of the different ways we enjoy this red berry during the warmer months.

We enjoy all kinds of strawberry treats during the summer and beverages made with fresh berries are a great alternative to sugary drinks.

Mocktails with fresh strawberries

Alcohol-free fresh strawberry drink recipes are great for kids and adults alike. Refreshing mocktails made with natural ingredients are quick and easy to make so you can get straight to sipping on the patio.

From classic tea, lemonade and limeade recipes to Korean strawberry milk, you can have a different drink every day of the week.

Non-alcoholic drinks are the perfect option for long summers days when the temps are blazing hot. Instead of loading up on sugary drinks loaded with artificial ingredients, try making a fresh strawberry drink that only has a handful of ingredients.

They are a healthier option and you are getting some much needed vitamins and minerals to help you beat the heat and keep you going.

Fresh strawberry cocktail recipes

No artificial colors or flavors in these adult beverages! Those drinks made with mixers and dyes cannot compare to cocktails made with fresh summer strawberries. Whether your spirit of choice is vodka, rum, tequila, gin or wine, there are plenty of choices.

When I think of strawberry alcoholic drinks, the first thing I think of is a frozen daiquiri. It’s the first frozen drink that I learned to make when I was in my 20’s.

It’s sweet, tart and frosty. Best enjoyed poolside with a few girlfriends in the hot summer sun, these cocktail recipes made with fresh strawberries will make happy hour at home something special.

Equipment for making fresh strawberry drinks

  • Vitamix Blender – This is the blender that I own and love. It is a bit expensive, but worth every penny.
  • Immersion blender – Also known as a stick blender, this is great for quickly blitzing up a few berries.
  • Glass pitcher – Pitcher drinks are great for letting guests serve themselves.
  • Cocktail glasses – The perfect glasses to serve your hand-crafted drinks.
  • Tall hurricane glasses – Whether you’re serving a daiquiri or a mocktail, everyone loves fun drinkware.
