Pro Tips for Making the Recipe

Use Frozen Strawberries: Frozen strawberries are ideal for this recipe, as they create a thicker and colder lemonade. If you only have fresh strawberries, you can use them, but you’ll need to add more ice to achieve the desired consistency.
Adjust Sweetness: If you prefer a sweeter lemonade, you can add a touch of honey or agave nectar to the blender.
Make it a Slushy: For a thicker, slushy-like consistency, use less lemonade and more ice.

How to Serve

This Frozen Strawberry Lemonade is delicious on its own as a refreshing treat or a healthy alternative to soda. You can also enjoy it as:

A poolside or beachside refreshment: The perfect way to cool down on a hot day.
A party drink: Make a big batch and serve it in a pitcher with plenty of ice and garnishes.
A base for other frozen drinks: Use it as a base for other frozen cocktails or mocktails by adding different fruits, juices, or spirits.

Make Ahead and Storage

Storing Leftovers

Freezing

You can freeze the lemonade in ice cube trays or popsicle molds for a fun and refreshing frozen treat.
