Spiked Strawberry Limeade Tastes Like Summer In Every Sip
Fresh berries, whether picked from a local farm or your local market shine in our Spiked Strawberry Limeade. With a hint of herbs and the tang of fresh lime juice, this refresher really screams summer. And while it’s great for a crowd, you also can’t go wrong stashing a pitcherful in your fridge. Craving something booze-free? Try one of these trending recipes. I love to make a double batch of the basil syrup and add it to cucumber water and vodka. Or even switch up the basil for mint and turn it into a mojito with rum, lime and Bubly. I’d serve this Spiked Strawberry Limeade with skewers or burgers hot off the grill or even a creamy chicken salad or this crispy Coconut Shrimp. And with only five ingredients, this sipper is a breeze to whip up!
