Chill Out with This 2-Ingredient Frozen Strawberry Lemonade – Summer’s Easiest Sip!

When the sun’s beating down, and your to-do list is longer than your patience, there’s nothing like a Frozen Strawberry Lemonade to save the day. This sweet, slushy delight takes just two ingredients, a blender, and about 15 minutes of your time—because let’s be real, nobody’s got hours to play bartender when it’s 95 degrees out and the kids are already asking for snacks (again).

Whether you’re hosting a backyard bash or just trying to survive the late afternoon heat with your sanity intact, this easy summer drink is pure frozen magic.

Why You’ll Love This Frozen Strawberry Lemonade

Aside from the fact that it tastes like summer in a glass? It’s:

  • Ridiculously easy (we’re talkin’ two ingredients, people)
  • Kid-approved and adult-friendly (yes, you can spike it)
  • Naturally sweet from real fruit
  • Pretty enough to impress at BBQs or bridal showers
  • Way cheaper than anything you’d pick up at a drive-thru

And let’s be honest—there’s something deeply satisfying about whipping up a non-alcoholic slushy that looks fancy but took almost zero effort.

Ingredients

Here’s what you’ll need for this 2 ingredient frozen strawberry lemonade:

  • 2 cups lemonade – Store-bought or homemade, your choice. If you like it tangy, go for fresh-squeezed. If you’re in “grab-it-and-go” mode, bottled works just fine.
  • 16 oz frozen strawberries – These bring the chill, the color, and the sweet berry punch. No need to thaw—straight from freezer to blender.

Optional Garnishes:

  • Lemon wedges
  • Fresh mint sprigs (because even easy drinks deserve a glow-up)

How to Make It (It’s Honestly Foolproof)

  1. Toss your lemonade and frozen strawberries into a blender.
  2. Blend until smooth and slushy. That’s it. You’re basically done.
  3. Pour into your prettiest glasses (or the one clean tumbler left in the cupboard).
  4. Add a sprig of mint or a lemon wedge if you’re feelin’ fancy.
  5. Sip immediately and savor the frosty vibes.

Makes 2–4 servings, depending on whether you’re sharing or hiding in the pantry with the blender all to yourself. No judgment.

Tips to Keep Your Strawberry Lemonade Game Strong

  • If your lemonade is more tart than sweet, stir in a spoonful of honey or agave before blending.
  • Want to turn this into a grown-up frozen fruit lemonade? Add a shot of vodka or rum. Boom—instant mom-cation.
  • Switch up the fruit! Frozen mango, blueberry, or peach work beautifully and turn this into a slushie flavor adventure.
  • Make it ahead? Sort of. You can blend and freeze, but you’ll want to give it a quick re-blend before serving to get that perfect slushy texture back.
