A Few Tips for the Best Frosted Lemonade:

Use fresh lemon juice—bottled lemon juice won’t give the same bright, zesty flavor.

Adjust sweetness/tartness—if you like it sweeter, add a little more sugar or use sweetened vanilla ice cream. For extra tartness, add more lemon juice.

Blend well—make sure it’s smooth and frothy, like a milkshake with a lemony kick!

Serve immediately—this drink is best enjoyed fresh since the ice cream can melt and separate if left sitting.

Would you like any variations? You could try:

Adding fresh berries (strawberries or raspberries) for a fruity twist.

A splash of coconut milk for a tropical vibe.

A pinch of turmeric or ginger for a spicy, golden lemonade boost.

Let me know if you tweak the recipe—I’d love to hear how it turns out!

Since this Frosted Lemonade is best served fresh (like Chick-fil-A’s version), storage can be tricky because the texture changes as it sits. Here’s how to handle leftovers:

Storage Tips

1️⃣ Short-Term (1–2 hours in fridge):

Pour into an airtight container or cover the glass with plastic wrap.

Stir or re-blend briefly before drinking (it may separate slightly).

2️⃣ Longer Storage (Not Recommended, but Possible):

Freeze in an airtight container for up to 24 hours.

Thaw in the fridge for 10–15 minutes, then re-blend with 1–2 tbsp water or milk to restore creaminess.

⚠️ Note: The ice cream will harden when frozen, and the lemonade may become icy or grainy. For best results, make it fresh each time!

Make-Ahead Hack

Prep the lemonade base (sugar + water + lemon juice) and store it in the fridge for up to 3 days.

When ready to serve, blend with ice cream and ice.
