Notes

Tips and Tricks

Freeze the lemonade ahead of time - The lemonade cubes need to be solid before blending. Overnight works well if you want to make the drinks the next day.
Use chilled liquids - Cold lemonade, soda, vodka, and lemon juice help the cooler stay thick and frozen longer.
Blend in batches - This recipe is made in two batches so the blender can handle the frozen cubes without overfilling.
Serve right away - Frozen drinks melt as they sit, so pour them into glasses as soon as they are blended.
Adjust the texture - For a thicker drink, use a little less refrigerated lemonade. For a thinner drink, add a small splash more.
