Scale
Primary Ingredients
- 1 cup freshly squeezed lemon juice (about 4–5 lemons)
- 1/2 cup sugar (or to taste)
- 2 cups ice cubes
- 1 cup cold water or lemon soda (like Sprite or 7Up for extra fizz)
- Optional: 1/2 teaspoon lemon zest for extra citrus flavor
Instructions
- Combine Ingredients: In a blender, add the freshly squeezed lemon juice, sugar, ice cubes, and your choice of cold water or lemon soda. If desired, include the lemon zest to enhance the citrus flavor.
- Blend to Slush: Blend the mixture on high speed until smooth and slushy in texture. If the mixture is too thick, add a little more cold water or soda and blend again to reach the desired consistency.
- Adjust Sweetness: Taste the slush and adjust the sweetness level by adding more sugar if necessary, blending briefly to incorporate.
- Serve: Pour the frozen lemonade slush into glasses immediately. Serve with a straw or spoon. Optionally, garnish with a lemon slice or fresh mint for an attractive presentation.
Notes
- Using lemon soda instead of water adds a fizzy, sweeter twist to the slush.
- Freshly squeezed lemon juice provides the best flavor; bottled lemon juice may affect taste.
- Adjust sugar according to your preference or lemon tartness.
- For a stronger citrus aroma, include the optional lemon zest.
- Serve immediately to enjoy the slush texture before it melts.
