Lemonade – Gives the drink it’s classic tangy, tart taste and sweetness. It also helps keep the mixture drinkable by making the ice cream less thick. Use high-quality lemonade that you like to drink for the best flavor.
Vanilla Ice Cream – Adds a creamy, thick smoothness to the lemonade, which brings it all together. Choose your favorite vanilla ice cream, whether it’s French vanilla, vanilla bean, or a higher-quality vanilla gelato.
Quick Instructions: Measure out two cups of lemonade and three cups of ice cream. Add the lemonade to the blender first, followed by the ice cream. Pulse the mixture to break up the ice cream, then blend on medium speed until smooth and creamy. Pour into a frosted glass and add a slice of lemon for garnish. Enjoy!
