Print Recipe

A quick and easy frozen strawberry lemonade slushie made without a blender, perfect for hot days and spontaneous refreshment.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 1/2 cups (225 grams) frozen strawberries
  • 1/4 cup (60 ml) fresh lemon juice (about 1 large lemon)
  • 2 to 3 tablespoons (25 to 38 grams) granulated sugar
  • 1 cup (240 ml) cold water
  • 1 cup (about 8 cubes) ice cubes
  • Optional: fresh mint leaves for garnish or muddling

Instructions

  1. Roll the lemon on the counter to loosen the juice, then cut it in half and squeeze out 1/4 cup (60 ml) of fresh juice using a citrus juicer. Remove any seeds.
  2. Place the frozen strawberries (1 1/2 cups / 225 grams) into your Mason jar, followed by the freshly squeezed lemon juice, 2 to 3 tablespoons (25 to 38 grams) of granulated sugar, and 1 cup (240 ml) of cold water.
  3. Secure the lid tightly and shake the jar vigorously for about 2 to 3 minutes until the frozen strawberries break down into smaller bits and the sugar dissolves.
  4. Open the jar and add 1 cup (about 8 cubes) of ice. Close the lid again and shake for another 1 to 2 minutes to crush the ice slightly and create the slushie texture.
  5. Open the jar and stir. If too thick, add a splash of cold water and shake briefly. If too thin, add a couple more ice cubes and shake again.
  6. If using fresh mint, add a few leaves to the jar before the final shake to infuse a subtle freshness.
  7. Pour the slushie into glasses, garnish with a lemon slice or mint sprig if desired, and enjoy immediately.

Notes

Shaking vigorously is key to breaking down the frozen strawberries and dissolving sugar without a blender. Use cold water and ice cubes to maintain the slushie texture. Best enjoyed fresh within an hour. Adjust sugar to taste and experiment with berry substitutions or herbal infusions.
