On a hot summer day, there’s nothing like a refreshing drink of lemonade. Want to elevate the sophistication of a classic American drink? Take advantage of this delicious Chick-fil-A knockoff and treat yourself! It’s a delicious combination of lemonade and ice cream. You can whip it up quickly in a blender and it’s so refreshing, sweet and tangy it will be a hit at any barbecue or outdoor party. Suitable for children and adults alike , it’s a refreshing drink that’s suitable for consumption at any time of year.
If you are of legal age, you can simply turn this into an alcoholic beverage by mixing your favorite vodka. If you’re looking for creative ways to spice up this adult version, we suggest experimenting with different flavors of vodka, such as orange or strawberry, to create a delightful fruity adult beverage. For those who don’t like vodka, white rum is a great alternative.
When you serve this lemonade in frosted glasses, it looks very effective.
As a bonus, it helps prevent the frozen drink from melting too quickly, which is especially true in the summer heat. Simply place the glasses in the freezer an hour before serving so they don’t break. Before enjoying the frozen treat, garnish the glasses with gorgeous lemon slices or circles or any citrus decoration of your choice.

Making this cocktail using homemade lemonade (which I like) and vanilla ice cream is something you can find many recipes for on the internet. When you use frozen lemonade concentrate, this recipe comes out a little better in my opinion.
What is the purpose of the lemonade concentrate? This frosted lemonade is unique in that it has a thicker shake consistency without compromising any of the lemonade characteristics that make it stand out from the rest.
