Frozen Pink Lemonade

When the weather starts heating up, there’s nothing I love more than an icy-cold glass of homemade lemonade—and this frozen pink lemonade might just be my favorite version yet. It’s sweet, tart, frosty, and the prettiest shade of pink, thanks to frozen strawberries blended right into the mix.

The recipe starts with a homemade simple syrup, which gives the lemonade the perfect smooth sweetness without any graininess. Then everything gets blended together with fresh lemon juice, frozen strawberries, and plenty of ice until it’s thick, slushy, and absolutely irresistible. The strawberries add a fruity flavor that pairs perfectly with the tart, citrusy lemons. You could make this for a 4th of July cookout, serve it alongside some fun finger foods for a birthday party, or enjoy it as a summer treat for kids.
