This Frozen Lemonade is like a drink and dessert in one! It’s so refreshing and the perfect refreshment to drink all summer long.
You guys, this frozen lemonade is my new summer obsession! I’ve made homemade lemonade before, but never frozen, and I’ve been missing out all these years! It’s one of the most refreshing drinks I’ve ever tasted and is great for a midday drink after being outside all morning… or even a delicious dessert!
It turns out that frozen lemonade is really easy to make and requires only four ingredients. You need a blender to ensure it’s nice and slushy instead of traditional on the rocks.
Four-Ingredient Frozen Lemonade Ingredients
- Lemons – Fresh lemon juice is a must for this frozen lemonade recipe! You also need a bit of the lemon zest to really get that tart lemon taste, so you will need to zest the lemon before you cut it and juice it. I used about 3-4 lemons in this recipe.
- Cane Sugar – I usually make homemade lemonade with maple syrup instead of sugar. Still, I decided to use sugar in this recipe because I really wanted the sweetness to come through. I used organic cane sugar, but regular granulated sugar would also work.
- Water – Use whatever kind of water you use for drinking water.
- Ice – Ice is key to this frozen lemonade! I just used the ice cubes from the freezer. You can add extra ice to your blender if you want it super slushy.
This recipe is very adaptable, and you can easily adjust the amount of lemon, sugar, or ice. If you want it more tart, add extra lemon zest and juice; if you want it less sweet, use less sugar.
How To Make Frozen Lemonade
Frozen lemonade is really easy to make, and there are only a few simple steps!
- Start by zesting and juicing your lemon. You always want to zest it first because it’s much easier to do when the lemon is whole.
- Then, add all of your ingredients to a blender and blend until the lemonade is the consistency of a slushy. You can always add more ice or more water if you need.
- Pour into your glasses and enjoy immediately! It will melt, so if you absolutely have to store it, make sure to store it in the freezer.
Optional Additions To Your Lemonade Recipe
You can easily customize your beverage by adding various frozen fruits, making it even more slushy and delicious! Here are a few that would be great:
- strawberries
- cherries
- pineapple
- mango
- raspberries

Can you kindly explain how one serving is only 5 calories when there is 1/3 cup sugar used which is subsequently divided into 4 servings. Maybe I missed something?
