Strawberry Coconut Lemonade

July 16, 2014 by Kayley 37 Comments

Summer is just flying by.

Up here in northern Utah, I really feel like I need to do a better job at taking advantage of it. All too soon the roads will be covered in three feet of snow and I’ll be huddled inside, wearing three pairs of socks and wishing I was laying out at the pool, sipping something ultra-summery, like this:

STRAWBERRY COCONUT LEMONADE

I’ve made a lot of lemonades this season. You could say it’s been a bit of an obsession.

Especially late at night, after the kids are in bed. While the rest of you are pulling out the wine, my husband and I are like “what flavor of lemonade shall we enjoy tonight, darling”?

When you don’t drink, flavored lemonades seem pretty hard core.

Speaking of the many lemonades of which I have made, this one is my favorite.

It only takes four ingredients to make one of the tastiest sips out there.

Strawberries, coconut milk, lemons, and sugar.

If you think coconut milk sounds odd in a lemonade, think again.

I promise, it works.

It works so well that I’m going to make a pitcher of this right now. And then not share it.

KITCHEN HACK OF THE DAY:

Before cutting your lemons in half and juicing them, press your palms into the fruit while rolling them against a counter. This will soften up the whole lemon and the juices will come out much quicker and easier.

    A little skeptical about the coconut milk and lemonade, but I’m going to try it – probably the adult version tho 🙂

      I was too! But it works great as long as your coconut milk isn’t a brand that is really strong. =)

        Hi, This looks like something that my daughter would love and it is so pretty! You mention not to use too strong of a canned coconut milk. I haven’t really used it at all before and wonder if you have a brand that you would recommend. I buy non-alcoholic pina-colada mix sometimes to make so I was wondering if I could just add a little extra water and a squirt of this instead if I cant find the coconut milk.

    What gorgeous lemonade! I’ll be honest: I’ve never had coconut milk in a drink before, but it sounds quite refreshing, and I bet it makes this drink all the more tropical and decadent!

    Thanks for sharing!

    Last time I tried to make a lemon coconut milk smoothie, the coconut milk slightly curdled! Hmm maybe the lemonade base being heated and mixed with sugar first helps avoid this?

      That’s a bummer! You do have to stir this occasionally as the milk will eventually start to separate from the base, but it stays together pretty well!

    Girl, you’re a sister after my own heart. We don’t drink either and flavored lemonade is our jam. Bring the whole family to California when winter hits and we’ll sit out on the patio sipping lemonade!

      Alright…watch out! Get stocking up on the lemons in January and you’ll have a car full of thirsty non-drinkers piling up on your porch!
