I know I am a little late but I hope there is a drink left for me! Strawberries, lemon and mint sounds oh so delicous! Thank you for bringing it to Fiesta Friday, what a perfect party drink! 🙂
Sounds refreshing and cooling… perfect for summer.
This looks so refreshing and you’re using one of my favorite berries. Mint is a great accent to this summery drink. You are so right that only the best strawberries should be used as I am sure they really come through in this drink. I could use one of these right now – thanks for bringing this beverage to Fiesta Friday to cool us off during the hot summer days
Thanks a lot, Aunt Juju! 🙂 Indeed the freshness and natural sweetness of strawberries makes so much of a difference. Happy FF!
