- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 2 cups cold water
For the Frozen Blend
- 2 cups frozen raspberries
- 2 cups ice cubes
Optional Garnishes

- Lemon slices

Instructions
- Prepare the Lemonade Base: In a large pitcher, combine the fresh-squeezed lemon juice, sugar, and water. Stir well until the sugar is completely dissolved, creating a classic lemonade base with a balanced sweet-tart flavor.
- Blend the Frozen Raspberry Lemonade: In a high-speed blender, add the frozen raspberries, ice cubes, and the lemonade base. Blend on high speed until smooth and slushy, scraping down the sides if necessary. The mixture should be evenly combined and frosty.
- Serve: Pour the frozen raspberry lemonade into chilled glasses. Garnish each glass with fresh raspberries, a lemon slice, and mint if desired. Serve immediately and enjoy chilled.
Notes
- Adjust sweetness to taste by adding more or less sugar.
- For an extra burst of freshness, add a handful of fresh mint leaves to the blender.
- If your blender isn’t powerful enough, break up the ice before blending.
- Try substituting honey or agave syrup for the granulated sugar for a different sweetness profile.
