Strawberry Lemonade
Just a few simple ingredients are all you need to prepare this quick and easy lemonade. It's the perfect drink for a hot summer day.
Ingredients
- 1½ cup (350 ml) cold water
- 1 lemon, ends trimmed and discarded, remainder cut into 4 equal slices (about 1/2 inch [13 mm] each
- 3 strawberries, hulled, quartered
- ¼ cup (60 g) granulated sugar
- 2 cups (260 g) ice cubes
Directions
- Place ingredients into the Vitamix container in the order listed and secure the lid.
- Select the lowest setting. Start the machine, increase to its highest speed, and run for 30 to 45 seconds.
- Serve with extra ice if desired.
Notes
The juice of each lemon slice will be extracted, leaving the rind fully intact. The Aer™ disc container will also muddle the strawberries and chill the drink, all at the same time.

Very tasty but ½" slices of lemon didn't extract
As other reviewers have said, this is REALLY good. I followed the recipe exactly, and was initially disappointed to find that the pulp of my lemon slices (which were about ½" thick) was not at all well-extracted. For my second attempt, I warmed the lemon in the microwave for 30 seconds, as this is a kitchen trick to get more juice out of citrus. The Aer extracted more of the pulp in that batch, but still only about 50%. For my third attempt: I cut the slices about ¼" thick, and extraction of the pulp was almost 100%. If anyone reading this is seeing the same issue with unextracted pulp, cut your slices thinner for your next batch.

Refreshing!
This recipe is the first one I tried in my new Aer disc container. It was very straightforward and simple. Instead of granulated sugar I used agave nectar, which worked just fine. Flavor was great, refreshing and just sweet enough. I am looking forward to experimenting with this and adding maybe mint, basil, lavender, blueberry - the options are endless!

Delicious!
This was super easy and so refreshing! I doubled the batch and cut sugar to 1/3 cup, which was still a little sweet for me...but so good! This is so quick and easy to make. If you have leftovers, I suggest removing the lemon rinds before storing, otherwise it ends up with a bitter taste.

1Strawberry Lime Ade
I decided to try a limeade. I followed recipe then added Key Lime juice and agave nectar for sweetener. I also used fine Alaskan artesian water. Frozen strawberries and no ice cubes. Perfection! Next time will be mixed berry limeade. I glad I got MY AER Container. What a deal Jay

Yummy!
Great recipe! The only ingredient I changed was stevia in place of sugar. This Aer Disk container is amazing! Everything I have made so far has been so good!
