Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 1 cup lemonade
- 1 cup vanilla ice cream
Cold Ingredients:
- 1/2 cup ice
Instructions
- Chill a serving glass in the freezer for optimal frosty texture.
- Pour chilled lemonade into a high-powered blender, ensuring it’s cold for best results.
- Add premium vanilla ice cream directly from the freezer to maintain thickness.
- Include a handful of ice cubes to enhance the slushy consistency.
- Pulse the blender initially to break down ice, then blend on high for 30-45 seconds until completely smooth and integrated.
- Stop blending when the mixture reaches a creamy, soft-serve like texture without large ice chunks.
- Immediately transfer the frosted lemonade into the pre-chilled glass to preserve its thick, velvety consistency.
- Optional: Garnish with a fresh lemon wheel or mint sprig for visual appeal.
- Serve immediately with a wide straw to fully enjoy the refreshing, creamy beverage.
Notes
- Chill your blender and glass beforehand to keep the frosted lemonade extra cold and refreshing.
- For a lighter version, swap regular vanilla ice cream with low-fat or dairy-free alternatives like coconut or almond milk ice cream.
- Experiment with homemade fresh-squeezed lemonade for a more vibrant and authentic citrus flavor that elevates the entire drink.
- Add a small pinch of salt to enhance the sweetness and balance the tartness of the lemonade, creating a more complex and satisfying taste profile.
