Freshly Squeezed Strawberrry Limeades

These are soo delicious! We had them when we had a pool party/picnic out on our deck.



Fresh Strawberry Limeade

1 tall glass
Sprite, chilled
1 1/2 limes
3-4 tablespoons Strawberry Sauce, chilled

Squeeze the juice of one lime into the glass. Fill the glass halfway with Sprite. Add 3-4 tablespoons of strawberry sauce. Top the glass off with Sprite and add more strawberry sauce if desired. Stir the strawberry sauce with a straw to really get it mixed in before you drink it. Garnish with lime wedges (which you can also squeeze into the glass before drinking. Definitely best when served with a straw.



Strawberry Sauce
1 pint strawberries
1/3 c. white sugar
1 tsp. vanilla extract


Combine berries, sugar, and extract in medium saucepan and bring to a simmer over medium heat. Cook for five minutes, stirring/breaking strawberries up with a wooden spoon constantly.
After five minutes, remove from heat and allow to cool slightly (if you have a glass blender jar) and a lot (if you have a plastic blender jar). When cool enough, transfer mixture to blender and pulse until desired consistency is reached.
