Number Of Ingredients 5

6 cups ice, divided
1 (750 ml) bottle limoncello, liquer divided (i.e. Lemoncello)
1/2 cup strawberry syrup, divided (the kind you add to milk)
1 cup fresh strawberries, sliced divided
2 cups lemonade, divided

Steps:

  • Put 3 cups ice in a blender. Add 1/2 bottle Lemoncello, 1 cup lemonade and 1/4 cup strawberry syrup. Add more lemonade if mixture is too thick for your liking. Put a few sliced strawberries in the bottom of each glass before pouring in spiked lemonade.
  • If the drink is too bitter, you may have to add a squirt more syrup.
  • Feel free to blend the fresh strawberries in as well, instead of using them as a garnish.
  • You can vary this reipe to suit your taste, by adding raspberry syrup and raspberries, or cranberry juice is good too. I also like to use Minute Maid Tropical Punch fruit juice in place of the one cup of lemonade added to the mix.
