Scale
Slush Ingredients
- 1 cup freshly squeezed lemon juice (about 4–5 lemons)
- 1/2 cup sugar (or to taste)
- 2 cups ice cubes
- 1 cup cold water or lemon soda (like Sprite or 7Up for extra fizz)
- Optional: 1/2 teaspoon lemon zest for extra citrus flavor
Instructions
- Combine Ingredients: In a blender, add the freshly squeezed lemon juice, sugar, ice cubes, and cold water or lemon soda. If desired, add the optional lemon zest to enhance the citrus flavor.
- Blend the Mixture: Blend on high speed until the mixture is smooth and has a slushy consistency. If it’s too thick, add a little more cold water or soda and blend again until you reach your preferred texture.
- Adjust Sweetness: Taste the slush and adjust the sweetness by adding more sugar if needed. Blend briefly again to incorporate any added sugar.
- Serve: Pour the frozen lemonade slush into glasses and serve immediately. Add a straw or spoon and garnish with a lemon slice or fresh mint for an appealing presentation.
Notes
- For a fizzy slush, use lemon soda like Sprite or 7Up instead of plain cold water.
- Adjust sugar quantity to your personal preference for sweetness.
- Use freshly squeezed lemon juice for the best flavor.
- If you want to make a larger batch, just double or triple the ingredients keeping the proportions.
- Serve immediately to enjoy the best slushy texture before it melts.
