Ingredients

1 cup - white sugar
½ pound - fresh strawberries
1 ¼ cup - fresh lemon juice
4 cup - sparkling water (cold)
12 ounce - bourbon or vodka
⅛ - Fresh mint
⅛ - lemon slices
⅛ - strawberries
2 - strawberries
1 ¼ ounce - fresh lemon juice
1 ½ ounce - simple syrup
½ cup - sparkling water
1 ½ ounce - bourbon or vodka
⅛ - fresh mint
⅛ - lemon slices
⅛ - strawberries

Instructions

In a blender or food processor, puree the strawberries until no chunks are left. Strain through a fine-mesh sieve if you don't like seedy drinks. I recommend straining to keep the drink from getting too thick.
Mix together the strawberry puree, lemon juice, simple syrup, club soda, and bourbon. Start with 1/2 c. simple syrup and 9 oz. of bourbon, and adjust these ingredients according to taste.
Serve the lemonade over ice. Garnish with lemons, strawberries, and fresh mint.
