Meyer lemons, a cross between a lemon and a Mandarin orange, are the special twist in this refreshing strawberry lemonade.
With Memorial Day marking the unofficial start of summer, my palate has shifted.
Despite the slim choices at last weekend’s farmers market, I am craving refreshing fruit-filled dishes.
Here in Chicago, it is still too early for a bountiful harvest, but a couple hotter than average May days were just the excuse to whip up a pitcher of lemonade.
Instead of a classic version, I made a couple changes that toned down the tartness.
Meyer lemons, a cross between a lemon and a Mandarin orange, combined with pureed strawberries, gave the bright pink beverage a sweet rather than sour flavor.
I served the strawberry lemonade in appropriately summery botanical print tumblers.
