A quick and easy frozen strawberry lemonade slushie that delivers a bright, refreshing flavor perfect for summer cooling.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups fresh strawberries, hulled and sliced (or frozen, thawed slightly)
  • 1/2 cup fresh lemon juice (about 120 ml)
  • 1/3 cup granulated sugar (65 grams), adjust to taste or substitute with honey/agave syrup
  • 1 cup cold water (240 ml)
  • 2 cups ice cubes (about 300 grams), crushed if desired
  • Optional: 1/2 cup sparkling water (120 ml) for fizz
  • Garnishes: fresh strawberry slices, lemon wheels, or mint leaves

Instructions

  1. Wash, hull, and slice the fresh strawberries. Juice the lemons until you have about 1/2 cup (120 ml) of fresh lemon juice, removing any seeds.
  2. Add the sliced strawberries, fresh lemon juice, granulated sugar, and cold water to a blender. Blend on medium speed until the sugar dissolves and the mixture is smooth and vibrant in color.
  3. Add the ice cubes. Blend on high speed in short bursts (about 20 seconds each) until the ice is crushed and the mixture achieves a slushie consistency. Avoid overblending to keep bits of ice intact.
  4. Taste the slushie and adjust sweetness by adding more sugar or tartness by adding more lemon juice. For a thinner consistency, blend in a bit more cold water or stir in sparkling water just before serving.
  5. Pour the slushie into chilled cups or mason jars. Garnish with fresh strawberry slices, lemon wheels, or a sprig of mint. Insert a straw and serve immediately.

Notes

Use fresh lemon juice for best flavor; pulse ice in short bursts to avoid warming; adjust sugar to taste; keep serving glasses chilled for longer-lasting coldness; can add a splash of sparkling water for fizz; can prep fruit and lemon mixture ahead and freeze in ice cube trays for quick blending later.
