Print Recipe

A quick and easy homemade frozen pink strawberry lemonade slush that’s perfect for summer, combining fresh strawberries, lemon juice, sugar, and ice for a sweet, tangy, and icy refreshment.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups fresh strawberries, hulled and roughly chopped
  • ½ cup (120 ml) freshly squeezed lemon juice (from about 2 large lemons)
  • ½ cup (100 g) granulated sugar
  • 1 cup (240 ml) cold water
  • 3 cups (450 g) ice cubes
  • Optional: small handful fresh mint leaves

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Fruit (5 minutes): Wash and hull about 2 cups (300 g) of fresh strawberries. Roughly chop them into halves or quarters. Juice 2 large lemons to get approximately ½ cup (120 ml) of fresh lemon juice. Strain seeds if desired.
  2. Combine Ingredients (2 minutes): In your blender, add the chopped strawberries, lemon juice, ½ cup (100 g) granulated sugar, and 1 cup (240 ml) cold water. Add fresh mint leaves if using.
  3. Blend Until Smooth (1-2 minutes): Blend the mixture on high until smooth and the sugar has dissolved, with no large strawberry chunks.
  4. Add Ice (1 minute): Add about 3 cups (450 g) of ice cubes to the blender. Pulse or blend on high until the ice breaks down and the mixture reaches a thick slush consistency.
  5. Check Texture and Taste (1 minute): Taste the slush. If too tart, add more sugar or honey and blend briefly. If too thick, add a splash of cold water and blend again.
  6. Serve Immediately: Pour into chilled glasses and garnish with a lemon wheel or fresh strawberry on the rim.

Notes

If the slush melts too quickly, keep it in the freezer for 10-15 minutes before serving or stir occasionally to maintain texture. Use fresh lemon juice and ripe strawberries for best flavor. Pulse the blender to avoid overheating and melting the ice too fast. Chilling glasses helps keep the slush from melting quickly. Frozen strawberries can be used but should be thawed slightly before blending.
