Boozy Frozen Whipped Mint Lemonade

Boozy Frozen Whipped Mint Lemonade

Whipped lemonade is a drink that is typically made by blending together lemonade and coconut milk and is a refreshing drink to enjoy on a warm afternoon. I gave it a yummy boozy spin with fresh mint making it the ultimate summer cocktail to enjoy on a patio or poolside. This cocktail is both creamy, tart, refreshing, and perfectly delicious and you are going to love making it all summer long. Boozy frozen whipped mint lemonade is the ultimate summer drink and is great for entertaining all season long.

I like to use some of my favorite store bought lemonade here to cut down on time instead of squeezing all of the lemons fresh. I use a lighter lemonade with less sugar here so the drink is not too sweet. You can definitely squeeze fresh lemons if you prefer, but you will have to add a form of sweetener to the drink such as sugar, honey, or agave. I love the fresh mint in this cocktail too because it pairs so well with the lemons and really gives it a refreshing taste. The heavy cream balances out the citrus and gives it an almost sherbert like flavor that is just sooo good!

I like to make a pitcher of this boozy frozen whipped mint lemonade and serve it up at the pool or beach or even at a backyard BBQ. It’s so good and easy and freezing the lemonade into cubes ends up making the consistency so perfect, just like an slushie! It’s going to become a favorite cocktail for all of the warmer months for sure.

Tips on making the perfect whipped mint lemonade:

  • Use store bought lemonade, but check ingredients. We want a clean lemonade that has lower sugar as well. Although you can use whatever lemonade you love most.

  • Feel free to omit the mint if you don’t love the flavor. This cocktail is also delicious with just the lemonade, cream, and vodka.

  • Omit the vodka for a non alcoholic version.

  • If you forger to freeze the lemonade, no worries, just add ice instead to the blender. The consistency might not be as creamy but it will still be delicious.

  • To make this dairy free, simply use coconut milk instead of the heavy cream.
