Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup pink lemonade concentrate (thawed) or fresh lemonade
- 1 cup cold milk (dairy or plant-based)
- 2 cups vanilla ice cream (or frozen whipped topping)
- ¼ cup raspberry syrup or puree
- 1 tsp lemon zest (optional)
- Whipped cream, for topping
- Fresh raspberries and lemon slices, for garnish
Instructions
- Add the pink lemonade concentrate, cold milk, and vanilla ice cream to your blender. Blend on medium-high speed until smooth and velvety, about 30 to 45 seconds.
- Pour the blended lemonade base into serving glasses.
- Drizzle the raspberry syrup or puree over the top of each glass.
- Use a long-handled spoon or straw to gently swirl the syrup through the lemonade, creating pink ribbons.
- If using, sprinkle a pinch of lemon zest atop the mixture in each glass.
- Top each glass with a generous mound of whipped cream.
- Add fresh raspberries and lemon slices for garnish.
- Serve immediately while frosty and thick with a straw or long spoon.
Notes
- Always use ice-cold ingredients for the creamiest texture and thickest consistency
- Chill your glasses for extra frosty appeal
- If mixture is too thick, add a splash of extra milk; if too thin, add more ice cream
- For best marble effect, drizzle syrup down the inside of glass before pouring main mixture
- Can be made vegan using plant-based milk, non-dairy ice cream, and coconut whipped topping
- Store blended base in refrigerator up to 24 hours, but add toppings just before serving
- Recipe can be doubled or tripled for parties
