Creamy Summer Drink (Printable Format)
A perfect copycat of the famous Chick-fil-A drink. Creamy vanilla ice cream meets tart fresh lemonade for the ultimate summer refresher.
# What You'll Gather:
→ Lemonade Base
01 -
1/2 cup freshly squeezed lemon juice (about 3-4 lemons)
02 -
1/2 cup granulated sugar
03 -
1 cup cold water
→ Creamy Component
04 -
2 cups vanilla ice cream (premium for best texture)
05 -
Ice cubes (optional, for extra frostiness)
# Step-by-Step Instructions:
01 -
In a small pitcher, whisk together that fresh lemon juice, sugar, and cold water until every bit of sugar disappears. Give it a taste - want it sweeter? Add a bit more sugar. Want more tartness? Squeeze in another lemon!
02 -
Pour your fresh lemonade into the blender along with the vanilla ice cream. Hit that blend button and watch it transform into something creamy and dreamy!
03 -
If you want it extra frosty (and who doesn't?), toss in a handful of ice cubes and blend again until you get that perfect slushy consistency.
04 -
Pour into tall glasses and serve right away. For that restaurant touch, add a lemon slice on the rim or a dollop of whipped cream on top. Grab a spoon or straw and dive in!
# Important Tips:
01 -
Using fresh lemon juice instead of bottled makes all the difference in flavor - worth the extra squeeze!
02 -
Premium ice cream will give you the creamiest, most indulgent result, just like the restaurant version.
03 -
This drink is best enjoyed immediately while it's cold and creamy, but you can freeze leftovers in popsicle molds.
04 -
For a fun twist, try adding berries, using different flavored ice creams, or making it dairy-free with coconut ice cream.
