Ingredients in Copycat Chick-fil-A Frosted Lemonade

• All Natural Lemonade – We used Simply Lemonade for its bright, real lemon flavor, but feel free to use your favorite brand or homemade lemonade.

Tips & Tricks for making Frosted Lemonade

Full instructions can be found on the recipe card below, but here are a few helpful tips.

• Use cold ingredients. Make sure your lemonade and ice cream are both nice and cold to help keep the drink frosty.
• Try homemade lemonade. Mix fresh lemon juice with water and sugar if you want to control the sweetness.
• Use a high-quality ice cream. The richer the ice cream, the creamier and more indulgent your drink will taste.
• Add extra lemon. For a stronger citrus kick, squeeze in a little fresh lemon juice before blending.

Serving Suggestions

• Serve as an after-dinner treat on a warm night.
• Pair with summer BBQ favorites or picnic meals.
• Top with whipped cream and a cherry for a more dessert-like experience.
