Description
A quick and refreshing summer drink combining frozen strawberries and lemonade for a perfect icy slushie texture. Easy to make and perfect for both kids and adults.
Ingredients
Scale
- 4 cups frozen strawberries (about 600g)
- 4 cups fresh lemonade (950ml)
- 3 cups ice cubes (about 450g)
- 2 tablespoons sugar or honey (optional)
- 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
- 1 cup sparkling water (240ml, optional)
- Fresh mint leaves (a handful, optional garnish)
- 1 cup alcohol (vodka, rum, or tequila, optional)
Instructions
- Gather and prep your ingredients: frozen strawberries, lemonade, sugar (if using), lemon juice, and ice cubes.
- Add frozen strawberries, lemonade, ice cubes, sugar, and fresh lemon juice to a blender. Pulse until smooth but still slushy.
- Adjust texture by adding more lemonade or water if too thick, or more ice/frozen strawberries if too thin.
- Taste and adjust sweetness by adding more sugar or honey if needed. Stir in sparkling water if desired for fizz (do not blend).
- If making an adult version, gently stir in alcohol after blending.
- Pour punch into a large pitcher or punch bowl. Garnish with fresh mint leaves or lemon slices and serve immediately.
Notes
Use frozen strawberries for best texture. Adjust sweetness last after tasting. Blend in batches if blender struggles. Make ahead by blending base and freezing; thaw and blend with ice before serving. Add alcohol after blending for adult version. For a creamy twist, add coconut milk or cream.
