1
Prepare the Strawberries
Wash the fresh strawberries thoroughly under cold water. Remove the green tops and slice the strawberries into halves or quarters for easier blending.
2
Make the Strawberry Puree
In a blender, combine the sliced strawberries and 1 tablespoon of sugar. Blend until smooth. If needed, strain the puree through a fine-mesh sieve to remove seeds. Set aside.

3
Juice the Lemons
Roll the lemons on a countertop to make them easier to juice. Cut them in half and juice them until you have 1 cup of fresh lemon juice.
4
Make the Lemonade
In a pitcher, combine the freshly squeezed lemon juice, 4 cups of water, and 3 tablespoons of sugar. Stir well until the sugar is fully dissolved.

5
Combine the Mixtures
In a large pitcher, combine the strawberry puree and the lemonade mixture. Stir gently until well combined.
6
Add the Sprite
Slowly pour in the 2 cups of Sprite to add fizz to the drink. Stir gently to mix without losing too much carbonation.
7
Serve
Fill glasses with ice cubes and pour the strawberry lemonade over the ice. Garnish with a slice of lemon or a strawberry on the rim of the glass if desired.
