How to Make Frozen Raspberry Lemonade Recipe
This recipe is so easy and comes together in just two steps. Blend and serve! Simple as that.
Place all ingredients in the blender.
Pro-tip: Play around with how many ice cubes you use. You might need more ice cubes or half and half to get your desired consistency.
Blend until smooth.
Pour into a glass and add optional garnish.
Variations / Options / Add-ins
- RASPBERRIES: You could also use fresh raspberries in this recipe instead of frozen.
- FROZEN FRUIT: This recipe is really versatile and easy to change out the flavors! All you have to do is swap out the fruit or add fruit to it. Frozen strawberries, mangos, or pineapple would all be delicious in this drink!
- GARNISH: Here are some of my favorite garnishes: fresh mint leaves, lemon slices, additional fresh raspberries. All of these are totally optional additions!
- FROZEN LEMONADE: the frozen lemonade can be really strong, which is why I recommend using half of a can. If you like a really tart lemonade, feel free to use the entire can.
- HALF & HALF: The half and half can be replaced with whole milk.

It will maintain best quality for about one year in the freezer. You can use it past its “best used by” date if the package is not damaged and it is properly stored at a consistent 0 degrees F. (The date printed on the can is not a safety date; it is the estimate by the manufacturer of how long the concentrate will remain at peak quality).
