Strawberry, lemonade, and mojito are three things that scream summer to me. Combine the three into a drink and you have the perfect combination. You can make a strawberry lemonade for the kids or for a hot day by the pool all summer long.
Or add the lemonade to a lime mojito for a refreshing adult drink. It’s a win-win for everyone.
