Sweet and slightly tart, our Hennessy Strawberry Lemonade is the ultimate refreshing summer drink. Homemade strawberry lemonade and freshly-squeezed lime juice are spiked with smooth Hennessy and citrusy triple sec to create a crisp and sparkling cocktail that you will want to treat yourself to!

As soon as the weather starts to warm up and days get longer, we love spending as much time outside as possible. Whether we are lounging by the pool, or having a get-together with friends, this cooling cocktail is one of our go-to's for the summer months.

How to Serve a Hennessy Strawberry Lemonade
The way a cocktail is made as well as the type of glassware it's served in can influence the final result, and here are our recommendations on how to best serve our Hennessy Strawberry Lemonade.
- Shaken: When making an individual cocktail (or two), we prefer to chill this shaken, but when making a pitcher we just chill it in the fridge. Both ways we serve with a small amount of ice to keep the drink cold without diluting it too much.
- Glass: Any glass will do for this cocktail.
- Garnishes: Strawberries and lime rounds are our favorite way for this cocktail, but you can also use lemons or mint leaves.
What to Serve with Strawberry Hennessy Lemonade

- Corn Chips and Guacamole: The perfect light summer snack that balances the sweet and tart.
- Shrimp Tacos: Seafood tastes great paired with the fresh flavors in this drink.
- Strawberry Spinach Salad: When we think of summer dishes, this salad immediately comes to mind. The fresh strawberries in the salad enhance the strawberries in the cocktail.
