Ingredients

1 1/2 cups freshly squeezed lemon juice
8 cups cold ginger ale
2 pounds fresh strawberries, divided
1/2 cup super fine sugar
2 lemons, thinly sliced
fresh mint leaves for garnish
4 cups ice cubes
1 cup Pinot Grigio, optional for adult version

Instructions

Combine ginger ale, lemon juice, sliced lemons and fresh mint leaves in a large pitcher. Wash, clean and divide strawberries. Dice half of them and add to lemonade. Place the second pound of strawberries into blender with the sugar. Pulse for 15 to 20 seconds, just to combine and puree. Add mixture to lemonade. Stir to combine and serve over ice. note: add more sugar, to taste - I don't like my drinks too sugary but to each their own!
