Strawberry Lemonade Fruit Pop Mocktail
Homemade lemonade poured over a strawberry fruit pop for an easy, alcohol-free summer drink.
Ingredients
For the Lemonade
- 3/4 cup lemon juice approximately 4 to 5 lemons
- 7 1/4 cups water
- 1 1/4 cups sugar
- 3 cups ice
For the Mocktails
- 8 strawberry fruit pops one per glass; I used Whole Fruit
- ice for the pitcher
- mint and lemon slices for garnish
Instructions
- Wash, roll and squeeze the lemons until you reach 3/4 cup of juice (approximately 4 to 5 medium lemons). You can use bottled lemon juice to replace or supplement the fresh juice. Set aside.
- Slice the squeezed lemons and set aside.
- In a large pot over medium heat, add the water and sliced lemons. Bring to a slight boil, about 8 minutes.
- Add the sugar and stir until dissolved.
- Pour the sugar water through a strainer into a pitcher to catch any lemon seeds and pulp.
- Add the fresh lemon juice and stir. Add the ice.
- Chill for 2 to 4 hours in the refrigerator, or overnight.
- To make the mocktails, pour the lemonade into a pitcher with ice. Garnish the wine glasses with mint and lemon slices.
- Place a fruit pop in each glass at an angle and pour the lemonade on top. Serve immediately.
Notes
You can also use store-bought lemonade. To make it a cocktail, add your favorite alcohol; I love vodka with lemonade.
