Ingredients:

Prep Time:  5 minutes | Total Time:  5 minutes | Servings: 8

  • 32 oz Frozen Strawberries
  • 52 oz Chilled Lemonade, I used Simply Lemonade brand
  • 1 cup Sugar, adjust based on your sweetness preference
  • Ice Cubes, optional for a slushier texture
  • Fresh Lemon Slices and Strawberries, for garnish
  • Save

1. Prepare the Ingredients: Ensure your strawberries are fully frozen for the best texture. Make sure your lemonade is chilled and ready. Measure out your sugar, and have ice on hand if you prefer a slushier consistency.

2. Blend: In a blender, combine the frozen strawberries and lemonade. Blend on high speed until the mixture is smooth.

3. Taste and Adjust: Taste your frozen strawberry lemonade. If it’s not sweet enough for your liking now is when you add the sugar and blend again. If it’s too sweet, adding a bit more lemonade can help balance the flavors. If you’re adding ice cubes for a slushier drink, add them now as well.

4. Serve: Pour the frozen strawberry lemonade into glasses. Garnish with fresh lemon slices or strawberries to add a touch of elegance.

5. Enjoy Immediately: Frozen strawberry lemonade is best enjoyed immediately after blending to maintain its frosty texture. If it starts to melt, you can give it a quick stir or blend again to refresh its consistency.

*Note: This makes a large pitcher of slushies, you may need to make half a batch, pour it into a pitcher and then make the second half if your blender is on the smaller side.

Storage Instructions

If you find yourself with leftovers (though, let’s be real, that’s unlikely), you can keep it in the freezer. Just know it’ll freeze solid, so you’ll need to let it thaw a bit before giving it a good stir or blend to bring back that slushy consistency.
