How to Make Frozen Lemonade Drinks at Home

Lemonade is a refreshing treat for any warm day. Whether you want to make a slushy treat for kids, add fresh fruit or splash a bit of alcohol into the mix for a tasty concoction the adults can enjoy, you have endless possibilities when creating a frozen lemonade drink in your own kitchen. Lemonade is created out of three basic ingredients: water, lemon juice and sugar. Adding your own ingredients to the lemonade and then blending allows you to make any kind of drink you choose.

Basic Frozen Lemonade

Mix 1 cup each of lemon juice (preferably fresh) and granulated sugar in a large measuring cup. Stir thoroughly to dissolve sugar granules.

Pour a cup of ice and two cups of water into the blender, and then add the lemon-sugar mixture. Blend on high for 30 seconds, or until the ice is completely blended and no chunky ice remains.

3

Pour into a glass and garnish with a piece of fresh fruit, such as a lemon wedge.

Fruity Frozen Lemonade

4

Pour a 6 ounce can of lemonade concentrate into a blender, along with 1 cup of water and 2 cups of ice.

Blend the lemonade and ice together on high for 30 seconds, or until the ice is completely smooth.

Add 1 cup of fruit to the blended lemonade mixture. Fresh fruit ideas include blueberries, strawberries, cherries or watermelon. Pulse the blender 5 to 6 times to completely blend the fruit into the frozen lemonade mixture.

Alcoholic Frozen Lemonade
