Print Recipe

A quick and easy frozen lemonade featuring blue raspberry syrup and fresh lemon juice, perfect for cooling down on hot summer days with a bright, tart, and sweet icy treat.

Ingredients

Scale
  • ½ cup (120 ml) fresh lemon juice, freshly squeezed
  • ⅓ cup (80 ml) blue raspberry syrup
  • 2 tablespoons (25 grams) granulated sugar, adjust to taste
  • 1 cup (240 ml) cold water
  • 2 cups (480 ml) crushed ice
  • Optional: handful of fresh blueberries for garnish or blending
  • Optional: a few sprigs of mint leaves for garnish

Instructions

  1. Roll 3-4 large lemons on the counter to soften, then cut and juice them until you have ½ cup (120 ml) of fresh lemon juice. Strain out seeds for a smooth finish (about 5 minutes).
  2. In your blender, combine 2 tablespoons (25 grams) of granulated sugar with 1 cup (240 ml) of cold water. Blend for 10-15 seconds just until sugar dissolves.
  3. Add ⅓ cup (80 ml) of blue raspberry syrup and fresh lemon juice to the blender. Blend again for 10 seconds to combine flavors.
  4. Add 2 cups (480 ml) of crushed ice to the blender. Pulse on high for 30-45 seconds, stopping occasionally to scrape down the sides until the lemonade is thick and slushy but still drinkable.
  5. Pause blending to taste and adjust sweetness or tartness by adding more syrup, sugar, or lemon juice as needed. Blend briefly after adjustments.
  6. Pour into chilled glasses and garnish with fresh blueberries and mint leaves. Serve immediately with a straw or small spoon.

Notes

Use fresh lemon juice for best flavor; bottled lemon juice is less bright. Pulse ice in short bursts to avoid overheating the blender. Adjust sweetness by tasting before serving. For a fizzy twist, add sparkling water after blending. If blender struggles with crushed ice, freeze lemonade liquid in ice cube trays and blend those cubes for creamier texture.
