And yes, it might be the prettiest drink you ever make at home. Frozen strawberries make it thick and slushy, but they also give it a bright red hue everyone will notice, especially the girls.
I first made this in the middle of winter to test it out for summer, and I couldn’t help but have a serving (more like three). So I think you could drink it all year. In reality, It makes the perfect poolside drink, and it’s perfect for 4th of July, backyard barbecues, and other summer gatherings.
By the way, if you like this recipe, you’ll love our classic frozen lemonade, and frozen lemon meringue lemonade.

- You won’t believe it’s only 5 ingredients, and that’s including the ice, frozen strawberries, and water. We kept it K.I.S.S. easy. So you don’t have to worry about making a complicated syrup. Just blend and pour.

How to make Frozen Strawberry Lemonade
Add the lemon juice, lemon zest, sugar, and water to a blender. Blend for about 15-20 seconds to help dissolve the sugar.
Add the ice and blend on high until thick and slushy.
Check the consistency, add a splash of water if it’s too thick or a handful of ice if you want it thicker.
Pour into glasses and serve immediately.
Top Tips
Use frozen strawberries straight from the freezer. Don’t allow them to thaw. This will keep the drink thick and slushy without watering it down.
As you probably know, strawberries can vary in sweetness. So if it’s not sweet enough, you may need to add a bit more sugar.
Storage
Frozen strawberry lemonade isn’t the kind of thing you want to be storing for later. It’s best when served immediately.

FAQ
You can, but I don’t recommend it. First, fresh strawberries, unless they are on sale, are more expensive. Second, frozen strawberries help give this drink its thick texture.
A high-powered blender like Vitamix or Blendtec will perform best. Other blenders can work, but the texture might not be as smooth.
Absolutely. If you want to switch things up, you can use a mix of frozen raspberries, mango, or pineapple.
