Serving Up {Drink}: Strawberry Lemonade Quencher

This recipe ought to have been posted a month ago!  Yummy, refreshing, and delicious - it kind of encapsulates summer.  After our nice, cool weather here in the Northwest last week, our temperatures have spiked back up for another week of summer.  If you are experiencing something similar, this is the perfect drink to serve over ice to cool things off!
