Creating this Moscato Strawberry Lemonade is as simple as a carefree weekend morning. Here’s how to bring this delightful drink to life:
Step 1: Chill Your Celebration Vessels (Glasses)
Grab your favorite glasses – wine glasses, stemless glasses, or even mason jars work perfectly for this bubbly beauty. Pop them in the fridge or freezer for a few minutes to ensure your drink stays perfectly chilled.
Step 2: Gather Your Weekend Essentials (Ingredients)
Make sure you have all your ingredients ready to go. Fresh strawberries and lemons will elevate the experience!

In your chilled glass, gently pour in the strawberry vodka.
Step 4: Add the Tangy Twist (Lemonade)
Next, add the lemonade to the glass.
Step 5: Top with Bubbly Bliss (Pink Moscato)
Slowly top off the mixture with chilled pink Moscato. The bubbles will gently combine with the other ingredients, creating a lovely fizz.
Step 6: Garnish with Love!
Now for the finishing touches! Slice some fresh strawberries and either drop them into the glass or thread them onto a cocktail pick and rest it on the rim. Add a slice of fresh lemon to the rim for an extra burst of citrus aroma and visual appeal.
Step 7: Sip, Smile, and Say Hello to the Weekend!
Serve immediately and enjoy the delightful combination of sweet Moscato bubbles, the kick of strawberry vodka, and the refreshing tang of lemonade. It’s the perfect drink to kick back, relax, and celebrate the simple joys of the weekend!
Tips for Your Totally Sippable Treat:
Chill Everything: Make sure your Moscato, strawberry vodka, and lemonade are well-chilled before mixing for the most refreshing drink.
Fresh Fruit Power: Using fresh strawberries and lemons for garnish not only looks beautiful but also adds a wonderful aroma.
Adjust to Your Taste: Feel free to adjust the ratios of vodka, lemonade, and Moscato to suit your personal preference. Want it a little stronger? Add a touch more vodka. Prefer it sweeter? Use a slightly sweeter lemonade or add a splash of simple syrup.
Get Creative with Garnishes: Consider adding a sprig of mint for a touch of freshness or even a sugared rim for extra sweetness and sparkle.
Make a Pitcher for Sharing: This recipe is easily scalable for gatherings. Simply multiply the ingredients by the number of servings you need and mix it in a pitcher. Add the Moscato just before serving to maintain its bubbles.
Variations for Extra Fun:
Sparkling Strawberry Lemonade: If you don’t have Moscato, you can use a dry sparkling wine or even club soda for a bubbly alternative. You might want to add a touch more simple syrup if you go this route, depending on your sweetness preference.
Berry Medley Lemonade: Experiment with other berry-flavored vodkas like raspberry or blueberry for a different twist.
Frozen Moscato Strawberry Lemonade: Blend all the ingredients with ice for a refreshing frozen treat on a hot day. Garnish with a whole strawberry on the rim.
The Moscato Strawberry Lemonade is the perfect embodiment of weekend vibes – easy, breezy, and bursting with flavor. It’s a delightful and refreshing cocktail that’s sure to become a new favorite.
