Ingredients
Fresh Strawberries. I love using fresh muddled strawberries in this recipe instead of strawberry syrup. Strawberries are just so delicious and full of flavor during the summer months, I love taking advantage of that!
Lemonade. I don't use homemade lemonade for this strawberry whiskey lemonade cocktail, I love using Simply Lemonade Light! However, you can use whatever lemonade you prefer whether that is store-bought or homemade.
Whiskey. Now, if you are unfamiliar with whiskey, it is a liquor, but it's also a category of liquor. I personally like making this a strawberry bourbon lemonade. Bourbon is a bit sweeter, and user-friendly, in my opinion.

Mix the sugar and hot water together until the sugar dissolves.
