How Long Does Strawberry Lemonade Keep in the Refrigerator?
As long as you keep your strawberry lemonade in the pitcher that you make it in, and cover it tightly with plastic wrap, it should keep in the fridge for up to 3 to 4 days.
Homemade drinks made with fresh fruits like this recipe don’t tend to last as long as store-bought juice brands for the simple reason being that they don’t include all of the additives and preservatives as commercially available options.
