Variations and Substitutions:

Instead of making your own lemonade simple sugar skip the first two steps and use a cup and a half of store bought lemonade.
You can swap the ice cream for a dairy alternative the texture might be slightly different but the flavor should still be amazing!
Don’t have a blender? No problem you can use a food processor or even an immersion blender if you have one.
You can use any type of vanilla ice cream you’d like. I like plain vanilla but French vanilla or vanilla bean ice cream are great too.
Want to make this simple frozen treat into a frozen cocktail? Add an ounce (or more) of vodka!
This drink is very thick if you would prefer it to thinner add a splash of milk before blending.
