Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups (480 ml) fresh lemonade
- 12 ounces (355 ml) chilled wheat beer (e.g., Blue Moon or Hoegaarden)
- 2 cups ice cubes (about 10–12 cubes), crushed ice optional
- 1 tablespoon sugar or simple syrup (optional, adjust to taste)
- Lemon slices or wedges for garnish
- Fresh mint leaves for garnish (optional)
Instructions
- Chill the wheat beer and lemonade in the fridge for 1-2 hours before preparing.
- Pour 2 cups of lemonade into a blender, followed by 12 ounces of wheat beer.
- Add 2 cups of ice cubes (or crushed ice for extra slush) and 1 tablespoon of sugar or simple syrup if desired.
- Pulse the blender on medium-high speed for 30-45 seconds until a smooth, slushy texture forms.
- If too thick, add a splash more lemonade; if too thin, add more ice cubes and blend again.
- Taste and adjust sweetness with more sugar if needed, blending briefly to mix.
- Pour into wide-mouth glasses and garnish with a lemon slice and fresh mint sprig if desired.
- Serve immediately with a straw or spoon to enjoy the icy texture.
Notes
Use cold ingredients to preserve carbonation and flavor. Pulse blend to avoid losing beer fizz. Serve immediately for best texture. For gluten-free, substitute wheat beer with gluten-free or non-alcoholic wheat beer. Freeze lemonade ice cubes ahead for better icy texture without dilution.
