Strawberry Lemonade

“Love, laughter, and lots of ice –

the ingredients of a great summer.”

-From Kichenomics

It’s 4^th of July today, where we celebrate the independence of our country. Everyone is celebrating with a party or a barbecue and this is a great beverage to stay cool and drink while you watch the fireworks tonight. This drink is also the perfect color scheme for the holiday; which is red, white, and blue. 

Happy Independence Day!
