[…] Spiked Strawberry Limeade from Lipgloss and Crayons! […]
This Spiked Strawberry Limeade was crafted as a part of a sponsored post for Socialstars and Sweet’N Low…..but my obsession with making it AGAIN and AGAIN? All mine! #donthesitaste
The middle of summer is already here. It’s hot, and weekend mornings start a little slowly. Suddenly our breakfasts are turning into brunches. We’ve been inviting friends over on Saturday mornings before the heat kicks in for eggs, playdates and our new favorite brunch cocktail Spiked Strawberry Limeade. This sweet cocktail is perfect for warm summer days, and light enough to enjoy more than one (thanks to Sweet’N Low I can enjoy a few without the extra calories!). 
Spiked Strawberry Limeade
Ingredients
6 cups of water
2/3 cup Sweet’N Low (adds the right amount of sweet without the calories)
1/2 cup of sliced strawberries
1 cup lime juice
8 jiggers of vodka
Instructions
Strawberry Simple Syrup:
Combine 1 cup of water, Sweet’N Low, and sliced strawberries in a pot.Still until combined over low heat, then bring mixture to a boil. Lower heat, and allow to simmer for 10 minutes. Once cool, can be stored in glass jars.
Spiked Strawberry Limeade:
Combine lime juice, 5 cups of water, 1/3 cup of strawberry simple syrup, and vodka in a pitcher.
Chill, and serve garnished with strawberries.
Enjoy!

Minus the vodka I know I would love that drink!! And it is simple to make–no blender needed YEAH!!
My hubby loves limeade! I will be making this for him!
It sounds like a refreshing way to bring in a warm summer night. Preferably outside with people you enjoy spending time with by your side. 🙂
This looks refreshing and delicious. I can’t wait to make this!
This looks so good! I have some friends coming over this weekend. This will be the perfect drink to serve.
My husband loves limeade. This one looks very much delicious & refreshing and easy to make as well. With strawberry being our favorite, he is going to love it. Would love to try this one!
Carly, I love Strawberry Lemonade (minus the vodka) and this sounds like a great recipe. Thanks for sharing at Snickerdoodle Sunday. I hope to see you at the party next week.
This is my type of drink! Spiked strawberry limeade! I am def gonna make this for a party.
I’d be interested in seeing what this tastes like…it certainly creates a beautifully inviting color. I like that this lemonade also offers a a little ‘kick’.
We love any kind of lemonade around here so I will be making this sans alcohol for weekend brunch! Thanks for sharing!
Looks so good, but I would use real sugar. Yummy!
Yum! I’m sharing this on my FB page and blog this week. Thanks for linking it up with Share the Wealth Sunday. I love all of your stuff!

This sounds totally delicious and perfect for summer. I am definitely going to have to make this. Thanks for sharing. xo ~ Megan The Fashionista Momma
Sounds yummy, although I would leave out the spiked part. I don’t use any alcohol.
Our family is big on brunch too…we lounge about on the patio sipping the 3rd cup of coffee while someone brings out a nice steamy platter of eggs or bread or bacon…or all three. I’d love to serve strawberry limeade…I bet the kids would get a kick out of a non-alcoholic version!
Sounds so refreshing! Thanks for sharing with the Thursday Blog Hop!
Lemonade is my GoTo drink for the summer and adding a bit of ‘spike’ and strawberry to it sounds amazing!
I have a lot of friends that would love this! Pinned it so I can be sure to share it with them! Thanks for sharing with #SmallVictoriesSundayLinkup 7/19/15
