Bright and frothy, our alcoholic frozen lemonade is created by blending tangy lemon sorbet and fresh lemon juice with vodka and ice. We can’t think of a more refreshing way to cool down all summer long than with this incredible lemony flavored drink.
Alcoholic Frozen Lemonade Ingredients
Experience the ultimate refreshment with this alcoholic frozen lemonade. It’s a balanced fusion of zesty and icy elements, making this drink a refreshing summer escape.
You’ll need:
- 1¾ cups of ice
- 1 cup (½ pint) of frozen lemon sorbet
- ¼ cup (2 ounces) of vodka, good quality
- ⅓ cup of fresh lemon juice (from 2 to 3 lemons)
- 2 tablespoons of granulated sugar
- Lemon slice for garnish (optional)
PRO TIP:
When lemons are on sale at the grocery store, buy a bag full of them and juice them. You can freeze lemon juice in ice cube trays so that you always have fresh juice on hand.
Substitutions And Additions
LEMONADE: You can make this lemonade drink even easier by substituting the freshly squeezed lemon juice and the sugar for ⅓ cup of good quality, pre-made lemonade or even lemonade concentrate.
You could also opt to use pink lemonade for a pretty twist on this cocktail recipe.
NON-ALCOHOLIC: If you wish to make this frozen lemonade ‘non-alcoholic’ for the kiddos, or yourself, you can just omit the vodka and replace it with ¼ cup water. It will still be delicious!
FRUIT: Try strawberry lemonade by adding a few berries to your blender for a fruity combination.
VODKA: If you have lemon vodka, you can substitute it for plain vodka in this boozy lemonade.
If you have a favorite vodka flavor, you are more than welcome to experiment and discover new flavor combinations.

This easy, grown-up beverage will come together in minutes in your blender. The slushie drink will be ready for sipping in no time.
OUR RECIPE DEVELOPER SAYS
This recipe makes a smaller batch of drinks but can easily be doubled to serve more people.
STEP ONE: In the container of your blender, add the ice, lemon sorbet, vodka, lemon juice, and sugar.
Blend on high (or on your blender’s smoothie setting) for one to two minutes or until smooth and no large ice pieces remain.
STEP TWO: Pour your frozen lemonade into your glass. Garnish with a lemon slice and enjoy.
PRO TIP:
To keep your frozen lemonade as cold as possible while you’re enjoying it, you can place your (freezer-safe) serving glasses into the freezer for five to ten minutes before filling them with your cocktail.

Our boozy frozen lemonade recipe is perfect for sharing. Add a lovely patterned straw to your glasses and pass the glasses around.
This frozen lemonade alcoholic drink would be lovely to serve at a pool party or summer barbecue. Add our seven-layer dip and a bowl of chips to munch on.
For those who aren’t planning to consume an alcoholic beverage, you can serve this lemonade without the vodka, or you can make a batch of our iced tea, raspberry iced tea, sweet peach iced tea, or our southern strawberry sweet tea as an alternative.
Summer cocktail recipes are so much fun to make and enjoy.
