Agave-Sweetened Strawberry Limeade
Let’s be honest—nothing beats a refreshing homemade drink on a warm day, and this agave-sweetened strawberry limeade is just the ticket. You’ll love how easy it is to whip up, and the sweet-tart combo is totally irresistible.
Ingredients
– 2 cups of fresh strawberries, hulled
– 1/2 cup of freshly squeezed lime juice (from about 4 limes)
– 1/3 cup of agave nectar
– 4 cups of cold water
– A handful of ice cubes
– A few lime slices for garnish
Instructions
1. Rinse the strawberries under cool running water and pat them dry with a clean towel.
2. Hull the strawberries by removing the green tops with a paring knife or huller.
3. Slice the strawberries into halves or quarters to make blending easier.
4. Add the sliced strawberries to a blender.
5. Pour in the freshly squeezed lime juice.
6. Add the agave nectar to the blender.
7. Blend on high speed for about 30–45 seconds, until the mixture is smooth and no large chunks remain. (Tip: If your blender struggles, pause and scrape down the sides with a spatula to ensure everything mixes evenly.)
8. Place a fine-mesh strainer over a large pitcher.
9. Pour the blended mixture through the strainer into the pitcher to remove any seeds and pulp, using a spoon to press down and extract all the liquid.
10. Add the cold water to the pitcher and stir gently with a long spoon to combine everything.
11. Fill serving glasses with a handful of ice cubes each.
12. Pour the strawberry limeade over the ice in each glass.
13. Garnish with a few lime slices on the rim or floated on top for a pretty touch. (Tip: For an extra chill, pop the glasses in the freezer for 5–10 minutes before serving.)
14. Serve immediately and enjoy! (Tip: If you prefer it sweeter, stir in an extra tablespoon of agave nectar and taste as you go—it’s easy to adjust.)
Zesty and vibrant, this limeade has a smooth, slightly pulpy texture from the strawberries that makes it feel homemade and special. The agave adds a mellow sweetness that doesn’t overpower the tangy lime, perfect for sipping on a porch or jazzing up with a sprig of mint for a fancy twist.
