Fizzy Strawberry Lemonade
• 1 pound bag frozen strawberries, slightly thawed
• 1 (12 ounce) container frozen lemonade concentrate
• 2 tablespoons sugar, or more to taste
• 3 cups club soda, chilled
• Fresh strawberries for garnish, optional
Directions:
1. Place frozen berries in glass container and defrost on 50 percent power for two minutes.
2. Place berries and lemonade concentrate in glass container and blend thoroughly together, about 30 seconds. Add sugar, taste and add more, keeping in mind it will be diluted with club soda. At this point, the mixture can be placed in an airtight container and refrigerated until ready to serve.
