A refreshing drink can brighten any day, especially when it’s easy to make.

My Strawberry Lemonade Fizz Cocktail recipe mixes sweet strawberries, fresh lemon juice, and sparkling bubbles for a cool, tasty treat.

You can serve it at a party, a family picnic, or just when you want something special with your meal.

I like this cocktail because the mix of fruit and fizz is both simple and satisfying.

The recipe uses easy-to-find ingredients and takes only a few minutes to prepare.

Making your own fruit cocktail at home means you know exactly what’s going into your glass.

This strawberry lemonade fizz is a quick way to enjoy a light, fruity drink without a lot of work.

Equipment

  • A muddler or wooden spoon helps me crush the strawberries and bring out their flavor.
  • I always grab a shaker to mix the lemon juice, strawberries, and syrup together.
  • When I want a clear drink, I pour the mixture through a fine mesh strainer to remove seeds and pulp.
  • For serving, I fill a tall glass with ice.
  • I use a jigger or measuring cup to get the right amounts for each ingredient.
  • I keep a stirring spoon nearby to blend the fizz with the rest of the mix before I serve it.
  • A citrus juicer gives me fresh lemon juice with less effort.
  • If I want to make a large batch, I sometimes use a large pitcher and mix everything together before pouring into glasses.

Ingredients

Here’s a quick ingredient list:

  • Fresh strawberries 4 berries sliced
  • Lemon juice 2 oz
  • Simple syrup 1–1.5 oz
  • Vodka 2 oz
  • Club soda 4 oz
  • Ice As needed
  • Mint lemon, garnish As desired

Instructions

  • First, I place the sliced strawberries and simple syrup in the bottom of my shaker.
  • I use my muddler to press and smash the berries until they release their juice.
  • Next, I add the lemon juice and vodka (if using) to the shaker.
  • I fill the shaker with ice, put on the lid, and shake for about 10 seconds.
  • After shaking, I strain the mixture into a tall glass filled with fresh ice using a fine mesh strainer.
  • Finally, I pour club soda over the top and give it a gentle stir so the bubbles are not lost.
  • For a pretty finish, I top the drink with a lemon wheel, a strawberry slice, or a mint sprig.

Notes

I like using ripe strawberries because they are sweeter and add more flavor.
If I want to make the drink ahead, I keep the strawberry-lemon mix in the fridge and add the club soda right before serving.
This keeps the fizz strong.
For a sweeter drink, I add more syrup or use flavored sparkling water.
When making a non-alcoholic version, I just skip the vodka and add more soda.
I always taste the drink before serving and add more lemon or syrup if it needs balancing.
I avoid over-shaking the soda so it doesn’t go flat.
If serving a group, I double or triple the recipe and mix in a pitcher, only adding soda after pouring the drinks into glasses.

Must Have Ingredients

Tasting Notes

When I taste the Strawberry Lemonade Fizz, I notice the first thing that stands out is the fruitiness.

The strawberry flavor is sweet and slightly tart, blending well with the sharpness of the lemon.

The bubbles from the soda give it a crisp and refreshing feel in my mouth.

Each sip feels light and cool, with a gentle fizz that tingles on my tongue.

If I use fresh strawberries, the drink tastes a bit brighter and more natural.

When I use store-bought lemonade, the flavor is slightly sweeter and less tart.

The drink finishes with a clean aftertaste.

I notice no strong alcohol flavor if I use just a little vodka, which can be pleasant for those who prefer a lighter cocktail.

I like how the balance of sweet and sour keeps it from tasting too sugary.

The drink stays light and easy to enjoy with a meal or as a stand-alone refreshment.

Substitute

When I don’t have fresh strawberries, I just grab some frozen ones. I let them thaw a bit before blending, and honestly, they work pretty well in the drink.

For a non-alcoholic version, I skip the vodka. Sometimes I’ll toss in extra club soda or even a lemon-lime soda if I’m craving more fizz.

If I run out of club soda, I’ll use tonic water or sparkling water instead. The flavor changes a bit, but not in a bad way—just a little different.

I’ll sometimes use honey or maple syrup instead of sugar for sweetness. They both dissolve easily and bring their own twist to the taste.

If I’m in the mood for something different, I might swap strawberries for blueberry or watermelon. I usually blend the fruit before adding it in, just to keep things smooth.
