Whether you call this frozen lemonade or a lemonade slushy, it’s the perfect summer drink! With or without alcohol it’s refreshing and cold and perfect for those hot days by the pool.

Frozen lemonade is reminiscent of theme parks and carnivals, don’t you think? Whenever I’m at Disneyland or any amusement park, we’re always on the lookout for a frozen lemonade stand.

Supposedly, Chick-fil-A also makes a frozen lemonade people lose their minds over, but this version is easy to make at home. This is the most authentic soft frozen lemonade I’ve ever had that’s not from the store!

How do you make Frozen Lemonade?

It’s so easy, you’ll never wait to buy one again. Here’s what you need:

  • Lemon Sorbet! That’s right, this recipe has no lemonade concentrate. The base of the drink is lemon sorbet!
  • Lemonade (any kind)
  • Vodka, if you want a BOOZY Frozen Lemonade (who doesn’t?)
  • Ice
  • Blender

When I found a lemon sorbet in the back of the freezer, I decided to try making frozen lemonade at home. I didn’t know how it was going to turn out but oh my gosh it was so good.

This is the best frozen lemonade recipe you’ll ever drink, and it’s even better with vodka!

Why use lemon sorbet?

Watermelon Frosé Recipe

by 1 Comment

Watermelon Frosé is the perfect frozen cocktail for summer! Frosé is frozen rosé wine that has been mixed with watermelon and vodka. It makes for a refreshing blended cocktail!

The combination of vodka, rosé, and watermelon makes a sweet and tart summer drink perfect for any day of the week.

PIN IT NOW TO SAVE FOR LATER!

Of course, I’ve heard the term frosé before, ever since last summer, when rosé became a household name. I’d never had one – or even wanted to try – until a few weeks ago. I was at a bar for a Kentucky Derby party and they were serving champagne slushies (so good, recipe forthcoming) but the special of the house was Watermelon Frosé. They had it turning in a slushy machine right on the bar.

Of course, it wold have been a disservice NOT to order one, so I took one for the team. It was so delicious! Like a smoothie met a slushy, full of watermelon and rosé flavor. It was perfectly pink and pretty and served with a tiny sprig of bright green mint on top. I knew I was going to recreate it at home the second I had the chance.

What is frosé anyway?

If you’re sitting here wondering what I’m talking about, frosé is frozen rosé wine that’s usually blended with fruit and sometimes sugar and other liquor. In this case, watermelon and vodka. It’s easily become one of the trendiest drinks around.

While the frosé I had at the bar was thick and super sweet, this homemade version is lighter with a bit less sugar. I loved the bar version but I found it almost too sweet and I couldn’t finish the whole thing. This version of frosé is absolutely perfect for party or girls night and will keep you cool all summer long.

Most of the time you just see frosé made with strawberries.But now that it’s watermelon season, I wanted to use that instead. We always buy watermelons and never eat them all, so I love making cocktails with it.
