Ingredients

  • 1 cup lemon juice (fresh squeezed)
  • ½ cup sugar
  • 1½ cups water
  • 4 cups vanilla ice cream

Instructions

  1. Step 1: Add the lemon juice, sugar, vanilla ice cream, and water to a blender.
  2. Step 2: Blend on high until the mixture is smooth and creamy.
  3. Step 3: Pour the frosted lemonade evenly into glasses and serve immediately.

Tips & Variations

  • For a tangier flavor, add a bit more lemon juice or use Meyer lemons for a sweeter twist.
  • Use a quality vanilla ice cream for the creamiest texture and best flavor.
  • If you prefer a less sweet drink, reduce the sugar to ¼ cup and adjust to taste.

Storage

Frosted lemonade is best enjoyed fresh. If you have leftovers, store them in an airtight container in the freezer for up to 24 hours. Stir well before serving again, though texture may change after freezing.

How to Serve

Two frothy light-colored creamy drinks fill round transparent glasses with a dotted texture around the rim, topped with pale, bubbly foam layers. Each glass has a smooth stainless steel straw inserted near the center. A fresh yellow lemon slice garnishes the rim of one glass, while another lemon wedge rests inside the other glass. Scattered around the drinks are several yellow lemon pieces showing juicy interiors on a white marbled surface. A blue-handled black spatula is placed nearby in the upper left corner.

FAQs

Can I use bottled lemon juice instead of fresh lemon juice?

While fresh lemon juice gives the best flavor, bottled lemon juice can be used in a pinch. Just make sure it’s 100% lemon juice without added preservatives or sweeteners.

Can I make this recipe dairy-free?

Yes, substitute the vanilla ice cream with a dairy-free alternative like coconut or almond milk-based ice cream to keep it creamy and vegan-friendly.
