Chick Fil A Frosted Lemonade Favorite Family Recipes

This Chick-fil-A frosted lemonade recipe is one of my favorite treats for hot summer days. Don’t get me wrong, I will never say no to lunch at Chick-fil-A. The chicken sandwich with waffle fries and Chick-fil-A sauce is a match made in heaven. However, I don’t live near a Chick-fil-A right now and I have resorted to trying some copycat recipes. I knew I had to try to make one of these refreshing drinks at home! This frozen lemonade is not quite a milkshake, but not quite a slushy. It is perfectly in the middle with tart lemon flavor and creamy vanilla. Make a big batch of these copycat chick-fil-a frosted lemonades during the hot summer months and enjoy them in the winter when you need a little sweetness in your life! It seriously takes 5 minutes to whip up and it tastes just like the real thing!

Ingredients for Homemade Chick-fil-A Frosted Lemonade

With only two main ingredients you know you can’t go wrong with this chick-fil-a frosted lemonade recipe! It is a smooth, creamy texture, and full of lemony zest. Everyone loves a delicious frosted lemonade and this one is sure to please the crowd!

Vanilla Ice Cream – I like to use a creamier brand like Tillamook or Edy’s, but you can use any vanilla ice cream! Make sure you keep it in the freezer right up until you add it to the blender. You want it to be really cold. Lemonade – Fresh squeezed lemonade mixture is the best for this recipe. I like the Trader Joe’s brand or Newman’s Own Lemonade. Simply Lemonade works great too! You can also use homemade lemonade, made from fresh lemon juice, sugar, and water. Lemon Zest (Optional) – If you are a lemon-lover, like me, then you can add in the zest of one lemon to really bring out the tart lemon flavor! Remember when zesting to stop when you see white. The white part of the lemon rind is really bitter.

Recipe Tip

Make Ahead Frosted Lemonade Recipe

Unfortunately, this copycat frosted lemonade recipe is best made right before being enjoyed. If you plan to make it a few hours or even a day ahead of time, place it in the freezer until ready to drink. The drink consistency may be off and needs to be reblended until mixed together again.
