This is an awesome drink! I don't care for really sweet drinks, but don't like really sour ones either, so this drink was right in the middle. I didn't find the need to add the red food coloring because it was such a nice shade of red all by itself. Thanks so much for sharing it.

Delish! This was so refreshing. I had a pint of strawberries to use & about 2-1/2 fresh lemons. We really enjoyed this beverage. It's super easy to make, not too sweet & was a beautiful color. Thanks for sharing, mommyoffour! Made for New Kids on the Block tag game.
