2. 2

   For the Strawberry Lemonade: Muddle 3 fresh strawberries in the bottom of a glass. Add ice, 2 tablespoons of lemon juice, and 1 tablespoon of simple syrup. Top with 1/2 cup water and stir well.

3. 3

Notes

You can adjust the sweetness of any of these drinks by adding more or less simple syrup. For a fizzier drink, always use carbonated mixers like sparkling water or soda.
