Print Recipe

A quick and easy frozen raspberry lemonade slushie with a sugary rim that perfectly balances tart raspberries and bright lemonade, ideal for cooling down on hot summer days.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup (125g) fresh raspberries, washed and drained (frozen works fine if fresh aren’t available)
  • 2 large lemons (about ½ cup/120ml fresh lemon juice)
  • ½ cup (100g) granulated sugar, plus extra for rimming the glass
  • 1 cup (240ml) cold water
  • 2 cups (about 300g) ice cubes
  • Optional: pinch of sea salt
  • Optional: splash of sparkling water

Instructions

  1. Juice the lemons until you have about ½ cup (120ml) of fresh lemon juice. In a small pitcher or bowl, combine lemon juice, ½ cup (100g) granulated sugar, and 1 cup (240ml) cold water. Stir until the sugar dissolves completely. Taste and adjust sweetness if needed.
  2. Pour some granulated sugar onto a small plate. Take a lemon wedge and run it around the rim of your serving glasses to moisten them. Then, dip the rims into the sugar, twisting gently to coat evenly. Set glasses aside.
  3. In your blender, combine the fresh raspberries (1 cup/125g), the lemonade base, and 2 cups (about 300g) of ice cubes. Blend on high speed until the mixture is thick and slushy—about 30-45 seconds. If too thick, add a splash of water or sparkling water; if too thin, add a few more ice cubes and pulse again.
  4. Give the slushie a quick taste. If it needs a little more tartness, add a squeeze of lemon juice. For extra sweetness, add a teaspoon of sugar and blend briefly. Pour into your prepared glasses, garnish with a few whole raspberries or a lemon slice if you like, and serve immediately.

Notes

Use fresh ice cubes straight from the freezer for best texture. Pulse the blender in intervals to avoid overblending and watery slushie. Rim the glasses just before serving to keep sugar crunchy. Adjust sweetness gradually to taste. Frozen raspberries can be used but thaw slightly before blending.
