Ingredients
Frozen Fruit & Liquid
- 2 cups frozen strawberries
- 1 cup lemonade
- 1 cup ice
Sweetener
- 2 tablespoons granulated sugar, or to taste (you can substitute with simple syrup)
Optional Garnishes
- Lemon wedges
- Fresh strawberries
- Mint sprigs
Instructions
- Prepare Blender Ingredients: Add the frozen strawberries, lemonade, and ice to a high-speed blender. Make sure to use frozen berries and plenty of ice to achieve a thick and refreshing slushy texture.
- Blend Until Smooth: Secure the lid and blend everything together until completely smooth and the texture is even. Stop and scrape down the sides if needed to make sure all the fruit is incorporated.
- Sweeten to Taste: Taste your lemonade slush. If you’d like it sweeter, add the sugar (or simple syrup), then blend again for a few seconds until dissolved and evenly mixed.
- Serve & Garnish: Immediately pour into tall glasses. Garnish with a lemon wedge, fresh strawberry, and mint sprig as desired. Enjoy your frosty, tangy, strawberry-packed drink!
Notes
- If your strawberries are already sweet, you may not need much sugar—start with a little and adjust as you go.
- For a lighter version, use a sugar-free lemonade or natural sweetener.
- This recipe works great with other frozen berries or even mixed frozen fruit blends.
- Double or triple the recipe for a crowd, blending in batches if needed.
- Leftovers can be poured into popsicle molds for a fun frozen treat!
