🍋 The Star of the Show: Chick-fil-A’s Famous Frosted Lemonade (or Sweet Tea/Lemonade Mix)

Depending on your favorite, this drink could be a:

• Frosted Lemonade – a dreamy blend of lemonade and vanilla ice cream

• Classic Lemonade – sweet, tart, and super fresh

• Arnold Palmer (Half Tea, Half Lemonade) – smooth, balanced, and sippable any time

• Or even a frosted version of the Arnold Palmer — oh yes, it’s a thing

No matter which one you’re after, the secret’s in the balance — the perfect blend of tart, creamy (or crisp), and just sweet enough to keep you coming back for more.

🧊 Copycat Chick-fil-A Frosted Lemonade Recipe

🥄 Ingredients:

• 1 cup freshly squeezed lemon juice (about 4–6 lemons)

• 1/2 cup sugar (or more to taste)

• 2 cups cold water

• 2 cups vanilla ice cream (softened slightly)

• Optional: a scoop of crushed ice for extra chill

🍨 Instructions:

1. Make the lemonade: In a pitcher, stir together lemon juice, sugar, and cold water until the sugar is fully dissolved. Taste and adjust for sweetness or tartness.

2. Blend it: In a blender, combine 1 cup of the lemonade with 2 cups of vanilla ice cream. Blend until smooth and creamy.

3. Serve immediately: Pour into a tall glass and enjoy with a straw and a slice of lemon on the rim (if you’re feeling fancy).

💡 Pro tip: Want it extra thick? Use more ice cream. Want it lighter? Add crushed ice or sub in frozen lemonade concentrate.
