Tip
I like to muddle my strawberries a bit with a spoon and ice. To muddle the strawberries, lightly press them against the sides of the glass to release some of the strawberry juices.
Step 3: Pour the Limoncello over the strawberries and ice, followed by the lemonade, and stir to combine.
Step 4: Garnish with a fresh strawberry and add a straw! Enjoy!
