  Toss the sliced strawberries with 1/2 cup of the turbinado sugar and place them in a foil-lined ovenproof pan in one even layer.

• 3

  Roast them for about 10 minutes, or until the strawberries soften and start to release their juices. Remove and allow to cool.

• 4

  Meanwhile, dip the lemon halves (cut-side down) in the other 1/2 cup of turbinado sugar. Mix together any remaining turbinado sugar plus the granulated sugar in an oven-proof dish along with the honey, 2 cups of water and the sprigs of mint.

• 5

  Place lemons on the Traeger, cut-side down, and cook until they're soft and start browning, about 5 to 10 minutes. Also place the sugar, honey and mint on a pan on the grill and let it heat up until the sugar is completely dissolved (about 5 minutes), stirring occasionally.

• 6

  Remove from grill and allow the lemons and the simple syrup to cool. Grab a pitcher and squeeze in the lemons through a sieve to catch all of the seeds and pulp. Place the cooled strawberries in a blender or use an immersion blender and puree until smooth.

• 7

  Pour the strawberries into the lemonade pitcher. Add in the simple syrup, bourbon and 3 additional cups of cold water and stir to combine. Taste the lemonade and add more sugar and water as needed.

• 8

  Add in some ice and garnish with lemon and strawberry slices and a few mint leaves. Enjoy!
