    Is there really anything better than a weekend full of sunshine, BBQs and warm weather? No. There is not. That's why we're kicking off the weekend with this frozen lemonade and it's your choice if you want to turn it into a cocktail!

    Today's recipe is simple and refreshing— it's one of those recipes for anyone. What I love most about it is that it's not overly sweet like most. It's the perfect combination of sweet and tart.

    Let's also not ignore the fact that this is an embarrassingly easy drink and it's perfect for any party. Add a touch of citrus-flavored vodka or run and it'll be like you're on vacation on a tropical island. One can dream, right?

    Frozen Lemonade Ingredients

    Ice is the base of this recipe. Along with ice you'll need 4 other ingredients, basic ones too! Easy. All the ingredients get tossed into a high-powdered blender (this one is my favorite!) and spoon it into glasses. That's it!

    1. Simple syrup: If you're not familiar with a simple syrup, it's easy so don't worry. It's equal parts sugar and water.
    2. Lemon juice: What's lemonade without fresh lemon juice?!
    3. Lemon zest:
    4. Water: This helps balance out the tart and sweetness.
    5. Ice: This is what makes it a slushy!

    Frozen Lemonade Should Be:

    1. Very very cold— the colder the better!
    2. Refreshing.
    3. Simple (minimal ingredients.)

    What I love most about making homemade lemonade is that you can control the amount of sugar. I find that most lemonades are too sweet. We all have different preferences so feel free to increase the sweetness to your liking.

    Description

    Cold and refreshing, this 5 ingredient frozen lemonade pairs perfectly with a warm sunny day!

    Ingredients

    Simple Syrup

    • 1/2 cup water
    • 1/2 cup granulated sugar

    Lemonade

    • 1 cup freshly squeezed lemon juice
    • 1/4 cup lemon zest
    • 2 cups water
    • 3 to 4 cups ice, depending on how thick you want it

    Instructions

    • Make the simple syrup: Over medium heat, combine the 1/2 cup sugar and 1/2 water in a small saucepan. Bring to a boil, then reduce to a simmer. Cook until the sugar is completely dissolved. Allow the syrup to cool completely.
    • Add the lemon juice, lemon zest, water, simple syrup, and ice into a high powered blender. Blend on high for 1 minute until it forms a "slushy". Add 1/4 cup more water if too thick or add a few more ice cubes if too thin.
    • Garnish with lemon zest and slices, if desired. Serve immediately.
