Frosted Lemonade Ingredients

Lemonade – this recipe is best when made with real lemonade, so either make it yourself, or grab the lemonade from the refrigerated section of your market (usually near the produce)!
Vanilla ice cream – Grab your favorite! I like the kind with flecks of vanilla bean in it. Mmm mm mmmmm.
Optional garnish – Want to make it look fancy? Try some lemon wedges, yellow sprinkles, or whipped cream on top!

How Do You Make Frosted Lemonade

⭐ First, in a blender, combine lemonade and ice cream.

⭐ Then, blend until smooth and milkshakey and frothy and you’re tempted to drink it straight from the pitcher.

⭐ Finally, serve and garnish as desired.

Copycat Recipe for Chick-Fil-A Frosted Lemonade

While I appreciate a trip to the local fast foodie joint as much as the next tired mom (hey, there’s a playground AND I don’t have to fight with the kids to eat) – it’s not really something I should be doing on a regular basis (you’re welcome, budget).

But I’m nothing if not resourceful, so naturally I figured out how to make this sweet treat at home.It was really hard. I slaved to get this recipe to you. Seriously. So many trial runs. And I had to taste test all of them. Tragic for my waistline, but someone had to do it. I’m basically a martyr.

Okay, okay, the recipe is super simple. I drank them because I wanted to. YUM.

Complete Your Meal with these Serving Suggestions

This is totally a summer indulgence, I like to pair them with other summer favorites like smoked drumsticks, Tuna Pasta Salad, Jalapeno Popper Crescents, Grilled Cheese Sandwiches, or Ham and Cheese Croissants! And of course a summer dessert like lemon pie or quick peach dump cake!

Recommended Tools

Stick blender – Possibly the most used gadget in my entire kitchen. The key to making a hand blender useful versus a giant pain in the butt is to rinse it immediately after using. That way you’re never trying to get crusty dried goop out from under the blades.
Ninja blender – We. Love. This. Blender. It blends all the things! Beautifully! No scraping the sides like I did in my old blender. And for a super reasonable price. My favorite thing to blend is Strawberry Lime Slushes!
Double wall insulated wine glasses – Okay, this one’s not really a gadget so much as something I find really useful in a hot kitchen. I can pour my cold wine or beer into one of these cute glasses and forget I did for hours. When I finally wander back, it’s still cold and ready for me. I’ve even sat it next to my flaming hot grill while I make burgers, and it doesn’t turn into warm beer soup!
