Today, I have a delicious cocktail recipe for you: a perfect summer drink for parties and BBQs. It is tasty and refreshing, and rather than preparing single-serve beverages, you can easily make a pitcher for your guests.
Ingredients:
- Frozen Limeade
- Strawberries
- Limes
- Basil
- Strawberry Vodka
- Lemon Lime Soda
Easy Strawberry Limeade
To start with, you will add your thawed frozen limeade to a large pitcher. Add three cans of water to the pitcher (approximately 4 1/2 cups).
Add 2 1/2 – 3 cups of strawberry vodka to the pitcher.

Wash and cut up your strawberries into slices. Add them to the pitcher.
Wash and cut up your limes into slices and add to the pitcher.
Chiffonade your basil leaves. This means you take your leaves, stack them up, roll them up tightly, and then slice them thinly perpendicular to the roll. Add this to your pitcher.
Stir to combine ingredients. Cover the pitcher and refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight.
After being refrigerated, the juice will turn a lovely pink color.
How to Serve
To serve, add ice cubes to a glass. Add 4 ounces (1/2 cup) of the strawberry limeade.
Pour another 4 ounces of lemon lime soda over the juice. Garnish with a lime wheel or strawberry slice and some fruit from the pitcher.
This summer cocktail is the perfect drink for warm summer days.
Recipe Tips
- You can leave out the vodka to make a sparkling limeade soda instead.
- Switch up the limeade and limes for lemonade and lemons to create a refreshing strawberry lemonade cocktail.
- Short on time? Mash the strawberries in a food processor. Press the strawberries through a fine mesh sieve and add them to the limeade and vodka. Add fresh lime juice and stir to combine. Add the soda to this blended mixture.
- Instead of mixing individual drinks, add the limeade vodka mixture and soda to a punch bowl or drink dispenser.
