Lemon Berry Slushy

This was one of our favorite drinks this summer---however, the first time I made it, I added all of the 1/3 cup of lemon juice, and it was just too tart! I modified it to a 1/4 of a cup and we like it better with that amount. I love the addition of strawberries to the traditional lemonade! Thanks for the post! I also increase the sugar slightly.

This is a great recipe for lemon berry slushy--not too tart and not too sweet! I've made this a number of times now exactly following the recipe, and it is a fantastic treat (good for parties, including Superbowl parties, which we plan to make it for). I've also altered the recipe just twice, once adding some lime juice in place of half the lemon juice, and once adding frozen berries (blueberry, raspberry, blackberry) instead of frozen strawberries.

I was looking for a quick, easy slushy, and this one fit the bill! I didn't have frozen berries, so I used fresh ones, and I juiced up a fresh lemon and got a little less than 1/3 of a cup. I kept the sugar the same though. Either way, we loved it, and I'll probably make this again - maybe with strawberries and blueberries.

Wow this is a great and easy summer vacation concoction! I think I may add some rum for the adults next time!

I needed a quick "something" before I started up with my day. This was quick to throw together and filling. I had a container with half frozen strawberries/half peaches. I just threw half of the container in the blender. I also cut back on the ice a bit, because I didn't need that much.

lemon berry refreshing slushy.This was just lovely i used 1/4 cup of lemon juice didn't have fresh lemons so i opted for the real lemon juice in the bottle.1/4 cup of sugar and i followed the recipe as it says.Adding more ice when i needed to.I loved it my husband loved it any my kids loved it,even my picky oldest son who don't like to try different thing .Thanks this will be a summer favorite

This was the perfect blend and consistency. Very refreshing.

After having had some strawberries sitting in my freezer for months on end, I looked for a quick way to use them and get an extra fruit serving in our day. I found this, and followed opal~/~butterfly's suggestion of only adding 1/4 cup lemon juice, and we both enjoyed it extremely! Will definitely make this again.

UPDATE JUNE 12, 09 Today I give it 5! Slacked off on the sugar a bit and added more lemon and VOILA....I heard a LOUD "MMMMMM" out of my 4.5 year old!! ************* LOL! I did not give it 5 because I TRULY like this stuff more on the tart side and have found the Strawberry Limeade on this site to be VERY difficult to beat. BUT, with that being said, I truly don't see anything wrong with this. It has NUMEROUS possibilities w/ customization! Add more lemon, use less sugar, vice versa and etc! I did the recipe to a T, but mistakingly added a tad more strawberries (Fresh..didn't have frozen) than what it called for. Even just a little more altered the taste and the strawberry really overpowered it. SO..I had to juice another lemon (one lemon did yield JUST short of 1/3 cup as a PP mentioned). I ended up using ALL of that lemon juice, as well. Perfect for us! :) I didn't think it was pucker-y tart..it was perfect the way it was! Lemon isn't SUPPOSED to be SWEET! I eye-balled the ice as we have an ice maker built into the freezer and don't use trays.....but, using too much ice or too little ice could alter your the outcome, as well....and you may have to adjust your ingredient amounts, too! Totally would make this again! My 4.5 year old digs it..and if it makes HER happy, it's gotta be good.

I followed this recipe exactly except using organic sugar. It was wonderful! Will definitely make again.
