How to Make Frozen Strawberry Lemonade Slush
Step 1: Prep Your Ingredients
Wash and hull your strawberries if starting with fresh, then freeze them until solid. Juice your lemons, straining out the seeds.
Step 2: Blend Everything Together
Add frozen strawberries, lemon juice, sugar, ice cubes, and water to a high-speed blender. Blend on high for 1-2 minutes, or until the mixture is smooth and slushy. If needed, stop and scrape down the sides or add a bit more water for desired consistency.
Step 3: Taste and Adjust
Taste your slush—add more sugar if you like it sweeter, or a splash more lemon for extra zing. Blend again briefly if you add anything.
Step 4: Serve and Enjoy
Pour your frozen strawberry lemonade slush into chilled glasses. Garnish with lemon slices, fresh mint, or extra strawberries. Serve immediately with a straw and enjoy every frosty sip!
Notes for the Best Frozen Strawberry Lemonade Slush
- Use frozen strawberries for the thickest, iciest texture—fresh strawberries won’t yield the same slushy consistency.
- Adjust the sweetness: swap sugar for honey or a sugar substitute if you prefer.
- For more intense strawberry flavor, add a splash of strawberry syrup or use extra ripe berries.
Frozen Strawberry Lemonade Slush Variations
- Adult Version: Add 1-2 oz of vodka or rum for a boozy kick.
