A vibrant and refreshing Raspberry Lemonade Slushie that’s perfect for cooling down on hot summer days. This easy-to-make drink blends frozen raspberries with lemonade and ice to create a sweet, tangy, and icy treat that can be customized with honey and lemon zest for added flavor.

Ingredients

Scale

Slushie Ingredients

  • 1 1/2 cups frozen raspberries
  • 1 cup lemonade (fresh or store-bought)
  • 1 cup ice cubes
  • 1–2 tablespoons honey or simple syrup (optional, to taste)
  • 1 teaspoon lemon zest (optional, for extra zing)

Garnish

  • Fresh raspberries (optional)
  • Lemon slices (optional)


Instructions

  1. Combine Ingredients: In a high-speed blender, add the frozen raspberries, lemonade, ice cubes, and honey or simple syrup if you prefer your slushie a little sweeter.
  2. Blend Slushie: Blend on high speed until the mixture becomes smooth and has a slushy consistency, ensuring the ice and frozen fruit are fully crushed.
  3. Add Lemon Zest: Stir in the lemon zest to add an extra bright and zesty flavor to your drink, enhancing the lemon notes.
  4. Adjust Sweetness: Taste your slushie and add more honey or syrup if necessary to reach your desired level of sweetness.
  5. Serve: Pour the slushie into glasses immediately to enjoy the cold, refreshing texture.
  6. Garnish: Decorate with fresh raspberries and lemon slices for an attractive and flavorful finishing touch.

Notes

  • For a more authentic frozen lemonade texture, freeze lemonade in ice cube trays beforehand and use those cubes instead of regular ice.
  • You can substitute sparkling lemonade to give your slushie a fizzy, bubbly twist.
