This creamy, tangy, and refreshing drink is the perfect treat for hot days or whenever you crave a citrusy, frosty indulgence. With just a few ingredients, you can recreate this fan-favorite beverage at home!
Ingredients:
½ cup freshly squeezed lemon juice (about 3–4 lemons)
⅓ cup granulated sugar (adjust to taste)
1 cup cold water
2 cups vanilla ice cream (preferably soft and creamy)
Ice cubes (optional, for a thicker texture)
Instructions:
Prepare the Lemonade Base:
In a small pitcher, combine the lemon juice, sugar, and water. Stir until the sugar is fully dissolved. Taste and adjust the sweetness or tartness by adding more sugar or lemon juice as needed.
Blend the Frosted Lemonade:
In a blender, combine 1 cup of the prepared lemonade and the vanilla ice cream. Blend until smooth and creamy.
For a thicker consistency, add a few ice cubes and blend again.
Serve Immediately:
Pour the frosted lemonade into glasses and serve immediately with a straw.
Pro Tips:
For a dairy-free option, use coconut milk ice cream or a non-dairy vanilla alternative.
Garnish with a slice of lemon or a sprig of mint for a fancy presentation.
Leftover lemonade can be stored in the fridge for up to 2 days.
