Place the strawberries, orange juice, water, 1/4 cup lemon juice, and sugar in a large, high-powered blender. Blend for 15–20 seconds, or until large chunks are gone.
Add in the ice and blend or pulse until all the ingredients are well incorporated and no ice chunks remain. (The more crushed the ice is prior to blending, the easier it will blend and the better the end result). Blending will take a bit of patience and some stirring in between. Blend until smooth, but don’t over-blend. This will result in a watery beverage.
Pour into glasses and enjoy immediately.
Notes
Note 1: If you use fresh-squeezed orange juice, you may need to add more sugar. I used a store-bought orange juice that had added sugars in it (I used Simply Orange® orange juice).Storage: This doesn't store well once blended.
