FAQ

Can i adjust the sweetness of this frozen lemonade?

Yeah, you can totally add more sugar if you prefer a sweeter taste or less if you like it a bit tart.

Can i use store bought lemon juice instead of freshly squeezed?

Sure, you can use it if you have to, but freshly squeezed lemon juice gives the best flavor.

Do i have to use ice cubes if i precool my fridge?

Not really, the ice cubes help get a slushy consistency so i recommend keeping them in.

Can i use frozen whole strawberries instead of chopped ones?

Yup, using whole or chopped, both work good. Just try to blend well to avoid big chunks.

How long can i store this frozen lemonade in the freezer?

You can store it in an airtight container for up to a month but its best when fresh.

Easy Frozen Strawberry Lemonade Recipe Substitutions and Variations

For 2 cups frozen strawberries you can use frozen raspberries or even a mix of different berries for a slight twist.
If you dont have freshly squeezed lemon juice, try bottled lemon juice or a squeeze of lime juice for a similar tangy kick.
Instead of 1/2 cup granulated sugar, you can use honey or agave nectar but you may need to adjust the amount since they are naturally sweeter.
For 2 cups cold water, feel free to substitute with sparkling water to add a fun little fizz to your drink.
If you dont have ice cubes, blended frozen fruit chunks can work as a cool alternative with extra flavor.

Pro Tips

1. Try chillin your blender jar before you start so the drink stays extra cool and refreshing when you blend everything together.
2. Don’t be afraid to play around with the sugar; add a teeny bit more if it tastes too sour or cut back for a tarter kick.
3. Give it a taste mid-blend – it helps you know if you need to blend a bit longer or if you wanna tweak the flavor before adding more ice.
4. For a cool twist, toss in a few fresh mint leaves at the end; they add an extra freshness that really pops.
