Notes
Storage:
You can make this drink ahead and store it in a lidded, freezer safe, glass container.
Tips:
- If you wish to make this frozen lemonade “non-alcoholic” for the kids, you can just omit the vodka and replace it with ¼ cup water. It will still be delicious!
- To make this an even easier drink, try substituting the fresh squeezed lemon juice and the sugar for ⅓ cup of good-quality, pre-made, lemonade.
- To keep your frozen lemonade as cold as possible, place your freezer-safe serving glasses into the freezer for 5-10 minutes prior to filling them with your cocktail.
- This recipe makes a smaller batch of drinks but can easily be doubled to serve more people.
- You can easily adapt this recipe to make thicker frozen lemonade that can be eaten with a spoon. Simply use less liquid--the less liquid you use, the thicker it will be.
