Heighten your beverage experience with these strawberry-lemonade ice cubes. They’re the perfect companion for summer drinks, as they’re visually appealing and they also infuse the essence of sweet, tangy lemonade into your glass as they slowly melt.

Crafting these ice cubes is a breeze. Begin by adding a few fresh strawberry slices to each compartment of your ice cube tray. Carefully pour homemade or store-bought lemonade over the top, filling each compartment. Then, let the magic happen in your freezer as the flavors meld together and the cubes freeze, resulting in a deliciously fruity creation.

When you’re ready to savor a beverage with a touch of summer charm, simply plunk a few of these cubes into your glass and top it off with lemon-flavored sparkling water.
