If the Summer heat is leaving you feeling parched, re-hydrate in style, with my Strawberry Lemonade Cocktail.

Today I am sharing three different versions for you to enjoy.

The first recipe is a terrific adult libation. The second recipe is a terrific non-alcoholic kiddie cocktail. The final recipe is great for Grandma when she needs to be cut off, or for someone like me, who doesn’t drink, but dislikes super sweet punch.

It’s an adult non-alcoholic cocktail, substituting non-alcoholic champagne for real champagne, keeping it sophisticated in taste, yet spirit free. All three are easy to mix up, ‘pretty in pink’, and light and refreshing.

Summer wouldn’t be complete without a good strawberry lemonade!

I used an extra dry champagne, but any variety you love will do. On the far left is the non-alcoholic champagne I enjoy.

Adult Strawberry Lemonade Cocktail

Ingredients For 1 Serving:

2 Shots of Odwalla Fruit Smoothie Strawberry C Monster
2 Shots of Strawberry Lemonade
1 Shot Lemonade Sparkling Soda
1 Shot Club Soda
1 Shot Citrus vodka
1 Shot of Champagne
Garnish: Lemon Wedge or Slice

Directions:

Pour all of your ingredients into a glass with ice, and stir. Garnish with a slice or wedge of lemon.

Tip: if you prefer a sweeter cocktail, omit the club soda.

Kiddie Strawberry Lemonade Cocktail

Ingredients for 1 serving:

2 Shots of Odwalla Fruit Smoothie Strawberry C Monster
2 Shots of Strawberry Lemonade
2 Shots Lemonade Sparkling Soda

Directions:

Pour all of your ingredients into a glass with ice, and stir.

Tip: This is an easy one to make a pitcher of, since the ratios for each ingredient are all the same.

Non Alcoholic Strawberry Lemonade Cocktail

Ingredients for 1 serving:

2 Shots of Odwalla Fruit Smoothie Strawberry C Monster
2 Shots of Strawberry Lemonade
2 Shots of Non Alcoholic Champagne
1 Shot Lemonade Sparkling Soda
1 Shot Club Soda
Garnish: Lemon Wedge or Slice

Directions:

Pour all of your ingredients into a glass with ice, and stir. Garnish with a slice or wedge of lemon.

Tips: With all of these versions, you may easily make an entire pitcher, for larger gatherings. Simply wait tell your guests arrive to add the carbonated ingredients, so they don’t go flat. With any cocktail, you may increase or decrease the amount of each ingredient used to suit your taste. Strawberries would make a lovely garnish too!
