Step 3: Add the Lemonade
Pour 1 cup of cold lemonade over the ice cream in the blender. If you like your drink sweeter, add a spoonful of sugar or honey at this stage.
Step 4: Blend Until Smooth
Blend the mixture on high speed for 20–30 seconds, or until the texture is smooth, creamy, and milkshake-like. If it’s too thick, add a splash of extra lemonade. If it’s too thin, toss in another scoop of ice cream.
Step 5: Serve Immediately
Pour the frosted lemonade into a tall chilled glass. Garnish with a slice of lemon, a sprinkle of zest, or even a dollop of whipped cream if you want to elevate presentation. Insert a straw or spoon, and enjoy!
Tips for the Perfect Frosted Lemonade
- Use fresh lemons: Freshly squeezed juice has a vibrant flavor bottled versions can’t match.
- Adjust creaminess: Add more ice cream for a thicker, dessert-like texture; more lemonade for a lighter, tangier version.
- Flavor twists: Try strawberry lemonade with strawberry ice cream, or use sorbet for a dairy-free option.
- Make ahead: Prepare lemonade in advance and store in the fridge. When ready to serve, just blend with ice cream.
