Tips from our Recipe Developer
- Go right ahead and use a flavored lemonade if you want, or stick with a classic lemonade.
- Use a high speed blender so it will crush the ice really well.
- Feel free to add in some vokda, rum, tequila, or other booze of choice. Add a shot or two to make as strong as you would like.
- Add in a splash of flavored syrup like cherry, strawberry, cranberry, etc. This will add great sweetness. Just omit the sugar in the recipe if you add syrup.
- Instead of lemonade consider limeade for flavor.
Storing Tips
These lemonade slushies are best served fresh after it is made. If you do not want to drink it all right away you can freeze it but know it will freeze pretty hard.

FAQs
Go right ahead and place in some fresh fruit to the blender and mix it up with the lemonade slushie. It will help sweeten and flavor your slushie easily.
If you purchase lemonade just make sure it was made in a factory of no animal products. This drink should be vegan friendly no problem.
If your slushie is too liquidy just add a bit more ice and then blend it up again. This is going to help thicken up the slush a bit more.
