Sweet, refreshing, and just enough “spike” to hit the spot. The Rakomelo Strawberry Lemonade is my all-time favorite summer cocktail.
In the summer, our backyard patio became our go-to spot for refreshing cocktails. A favorite cocktail among the family, super refreshing with enough sweetness and tartness and so easy to make.
And just like with any fruit, make sure it's in season.
Enjoy it!
