Frozen Lemonade with Pineapple
Description
This recipe starts by zesting and juicing fresh lemons to capture bright citrus flavor. The lemon juice and zest are blended with sugar and water, producing a sweetened lemon base. Adding frozen pineapple chunks in increments blends tropical fruit flavor and natural sweetness uniformly. Ice is incorporated to achieve a thick, slushy texture. Adjusting the amount of ice or water allows control of consistency according to preference.
The frozen pineapple lends both chill and fruity aroma, balancing the tartness of lemon. The sugar softens acidity and enhances the drink’s balance. Serving the lemonade immediately preserves its icy texture.
Ingredients
- 6 cups pineapple frozen chunks
- 3/4 cup lemon juice about 5 lemons, fresh
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar or equivalent alternative sweetener
- 2-4 cups water cold
- 2-4 cups ice
Instructions
- Zest 2 lemons. Then juice about 5 lemons to obtain 3/4 of a cup of fresh juice.
- Blend the lemon juice, lemon zest, sweetener of choice, and 2 cups water in the blender until thoroughly combined.
- Add frozen pineapple chunks in small increments, blending well between additions.
- Blend in 2 cups of ice. Taste and add more ice or water to reach your desired thickness. Serve immediately.
