Place strawberries in carafe of blender along with 1/4 cup (60 ml) of lemon juice and blend on high until smooth. Press through a wire-meshed strainer to remove seeds; discard the seedy pulp.

Place the resulting strawberry purée, remaining lemon juice and sugar in a bowl and whisk together well to dissolve sugar. This is your base and it will equal about 3 cups (720 ml).

Now you can add water (or sparkling water, or sparkling wine) and transfer to a large pitcher, adding ice as desired, or perhaps not if you are using sparkling wine. Start with a 1:1 ratio of strawberry lemon base and water and adjust to your taste from there.

Or, you can make it by the glass, again starting by combining equal amounts of purée and water or to taste (but watch your FODMAPs if you are adding champagne. You can have up to 5 ounces/150 ml).

Strawberry Lemonade is ready to serve or can be refrigerated for up to 3 days. It will last longer but lose a little bit of its freshness. Add ice at serving time - or perhaps not if you are using sparkling wine.
