Jump to RecipeIngredients Needed:
- 16 ounces lemonade
- 2 cups ice cubes
- 2 tablespoons strawberry ice cream topping
How To Make Frozen Strawberry Lemonade?
- Blend the lemonade and ice: Add lemonade and ice cubes to a blender. Blend until the mixture is smooth and slushy.
- Prepare the glass: Spoon 2 tablespoons of strawberry ice cream topping into the bottom of a serving glass.
- Assemble and serve: Pour the frozen lemonade over the strawberry topping. Stir gently for a swirled effect, or enjoy as is!
Recipe Tips:
- Use cold lemonade for the best texture: If your lemonade is warm or at room temperature, the ice will melt faster, making the drink watery. Chill the lemonade in the fridge before blending for a thick and icy texture.
- Blend in short bursts to control consistency: If you blend too long, the drink may become too thin. Blend in brief pulses until the ice is crushed but still slushy. Stop blending once it reaches the perfect frozen texture.
- Add ice gradually if needed: If the lemonade is too thin, add more ice a little at a time and blend again. This helps you get the right slushy consistency without making it too watery.
- Swirl the strawberry topping for a pretty look: Pour the frozen lemonade gently over the strawberry topping, then stir lightly with a spoon to create a beautiful swirl effect. This makes the drink taste better and looks just like the McDonald’s version!
- Serve immediately for the best results: Frozen drinks melt fast, especially in warm weather. Enjoy it right after blending for the perfect slushy texture. If it starts to melt, give it a quick stir before drinking.
How To Store Leftovers?
- Refrigerate: This drink is best enjoyed fresh, but if you have leftovers, store them in a covered cup or jar in the fridge for up to 1 day. The ice will melt, so stir well before drinking.
- Freeze: Pour the lemonade into a freezer-safe container and freeze for up to 1 month.
