FAQs
Can I use fresh or frozen strawberries for this recipe?
Frozen strawberries work best as they help create a thicker, slushier texture and eliminate the need for extra ice, which can water down the drink. However, fresh strawberries can be used—just make sure to freeze them first if possible.
Can I make this ahead of time?
While it’s best served fresh, you can make this ahead of time and store it in the freezer. Just give it a quick blend again to restore its slushie consistency.
How can I make this drink sweeter?
If you like your drinks sweeter, you can add sugar, simple syrup, or honey to taste. Start with a little and adjust based on your preference.
Can I make this with other citrus fruits?
Yes! You can switch out the lemonade for limeade or orange juice to make different versions of this frozen citrus drink.
Can I make this without sugar?
Yes, if you prefer a low-sugar version, you can skip the sugar or use a natural sweetener like stevia or monk fruit to taste.
