Ingredients

For the Lemonade Base

  • 1⅓ cups freshly squeezed lemon juice (from about 6 juicy lemons)
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 cup ice-cold water (seriously, make it frosty!)

For Blending & Garnish

  • 6 cups top-tier vanilla bean ice cream
  • 4-5 drops yellow food coloring (optional but oh-so-pretty)
  • Fresh lemon slices for garnish (go big or go home!)

Instructions

  • Grab your blender and toss in that fresh lemon juice and sugar—blend on low speed (milkshake setting, babes) for 30-45 seconds until it’s smooth and the sugar’s dissolved.
  • Keep that blender humming on low, then slowly drizzle in the ice-cold water. Blend another 10-15 seconds—watch it turn into liquid gold!
  • Time for the magic! Add your vanilla bean ice cream, secure the lid, and pulse on low until it’s creamy dreamy. Pop in food coloring if you’re feeling fancy and give it one last quick blend.
  • Pour into glasses, garnish with lemon slices, and serve immediately with straws. It’s giving summer vibes!

Notes

For best results, freeze your glasses beforehand to keep things extra frosty. Add ½ tsp lemon zest for a flavor boost—it’s a game-changer!
