    CopyCat Chick-fil-A Frosted Lemonade

    Back in March, Chick-fil-A introduced a new Frosted Lemonade. Have you had a chance to try this new dreamy drink? If so, you will truly appreciate this Copycat Chick-fil-A Frosted Lemonade Recipe I am sharing with you today. If you have yet to try it, this is the time. You are surely missing out on a totally tasty and refreshing frozen treat.

    Last week, the hubby and I hopped in Chick-fil-A for lunch. I normally order a chicken sandwich, side salad and my favorite Chick-fil-A Lemonade. I happened to spot the new Frosted Lemonade on the menu and I was anxious to give it a try. The frosted lemonade was like pure heaven. A delish and smooth vanilla milkshake with a bit of sunshine added. The lemon was not overwhelming which was perfect in my opinion. Since the hubby and I were being sneaky and having lunch at Chick-fil-A without the kiddos, I decide to whip up a batch of this yumminess for them to give a try at home. Making them copycat recipes always saves me a bundle.

    I have shared our CopyCat Chick-fil-A Lemonade Recipe with you last spring. The recipe is simply Sunkist lemons and sugar. I knew that Chick-fil-A combines their lemonade with their Vanilla Ice Dream soft serve to make their popular Frosted Lemonade, so while at the grocery, I grabbed a carton of Edy’s Slow Churned Vanilla Ice Cream. Edy’s is a perfect soft consistency and does not contain as much dairy (just like Vanilla Ice Dream). After a few tries in the blender, I think I got the recipe just like Chick-fil-A.  I am going to make a big batch for dinner tonight along with some CopyCat Chick-fil-A Nuggets and waffle fries. I am anxious to surprise the kiddos. They always love Copycat Chick-fil-A dinner nights.

    INGREDIENTS
    1 cup Fresh Squeezed Lemon Juice (Sunkist brand is recommended as it is the brand that Chick Fil-A uses)
    1/2 cup Sugar
    2 1/2 cups Water
    Edy’s Slow Churn Vanilla Ice Cream

    DIRECTIONS
    Add lemon juice and sugar to pitcher.
    If you are using bottled lemon juice, increase amount to 1 1/2 cups.
    Stir until sugar is dissolved.
    Add water and stir until well mixed.
    Refrigerate at least 1 hour to chill.
    Add 1 cup chilled lemonade and 2 cups (about 4 scoops) ice cream to blender.
    Pour into cup and garnish with lemon slice.

    With summer almost here, lemonade drinks are always so refreshing. My kiddos are going to be super excited to try this one and will be making frequent requests over the summer.

    Do you have a favorite flavored lemonade? My personal favorite is my Raspberry Lemonade Slushie I shared with you a few weeks back. I know I will be making them constantly.

      Made this and my husband is obsessed. He went to try the actually chick fil a drink and was disappointed. He said this was wayyy better. We squeezed our lemons fresh.

      I just added some lemonade, sugar, crushed ice, and vanilla ice cream in my blender and it came out amazing. Extremely close to the real thing.

      On the West Coast, Edy’s is Dryer’s, and Domino sugar is C&H sugar. Same companies, different names.

      I have made the lemon flavor with fresh-squeezed limes and some juice and it was wonderful. Now I want to make key lime flavor next; probably have to use plain key lime juice as I have no idea if key limes are in season around here.

      Do you know how they make their diet Frosted Lemonades? I’d appreciate the recipe if you do. You could also make their Frosted Sunrise by substituting orange juice for the lemon.

      I made these using Simply Lemonade, for an interesting twist try it with the flavored versions, o ised Simply Raspberry Lemonade in my 2nd batch and it came out just as good as the plain Lemonade batch.

      I saw this in All You magazine. I made it with lemon concentrate and vanilla ice cream. That was good. I added a bit more sugar and used frozen vanilla yogurt. It was awesome! The yogurt give it a bit more tang. Love this!

        Not wrong at all! creative LOL. I’d think a lemon vodka would be great! rum too since it’s ‘sweet’. Jack Daniels could be interesting since there is a Lynchburg Lemonade recipe! let me know when you try something
