A Great Summer Treat

This Frozen Lemonade is my new summer obsession! It’s so lemony, cold, tangy and refreshing! It totally satisfies a sweet treat craving and a cold drink craving…all in one! Enjoy this all summer long and adapt it to your own taste preferences!

Make It Your Own

The best part of this recipe, (besides how easy it is to make) is how adaptable it is. You can try different flavors of soda or juice. Don’t use diet soda, it will freeze solid on you. You can also add in some frozen fruit.

Fruit That Would Be Great in a Frozen Lemonade

If you’re wanting to add frozen fruit to your lemonade, I would suggest throwing the fruit in a blender before adding to the ice cream maker bowl. Here are some great options for fruit to add, totally optional though.

strawberries
cherries
pineapple
mango
raspberries

How To Make Frozen Lemonade

This recipe is super duper easy. Like, take a beverage, throw it into an ice cream maker and voila! Insta-slushie. The printable recipe card is below.

Freeze Ice Cream Maker Bowl

Before you begin to make your slushy, make sure your ice cream maker bowl is frozen. You’ll get nowhere fast if it hasn’t had time to freeze up.

We tried slushies with Fanta Orange, Sprite and Root Beer soda flavors, but the best one {and most refreshing one!} was the lemonade.

Word to the wise: don’t try this with diet soda. It will freeze solid on you! No bueno!

Add Lemonade into Frozen Ice Cream Maker Bowl

Assemble ice cream maker and turn on. Pour cold lemonade into machine and churn 7-10 minutes or until frozen.
