Looking for a fun summer drink recipe for kids that’s a little more exciting than plain old lemonade? Maybe you want a virgin drink recipe for the adults at your party that don’t drink alcohol? Our Tropical Strawberry Lemonade is perfect for both! Kids will love the fact that you put candy in their drink, while grownups will enjoy the exotic taste and gorgeous colors. This recipe was inspired by this idea I found on Pinterest.
