Frozen Limoncello
A zesty and refreshing frozen limoncello slush with a bright lemon flavor.
Ingredients
- 1 cup limoncello (homemade or store-bought)
- 1/2 cup fresh lemon juice
- 1/4 cup simple syrup (optional, for added sweetness)
- 2 cup ice cubes
- 1/2 cup sparkling water or prosecco (for a bubbly touch)
- Lemon zest (for garnish)
- Fresh mint leaves (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Chill the Ingredients:
- For the best results, chill the limoncello, lemon juice, and sparkling water in the fridge before blending.
Blend Until Smooth:
- In a blender, combine limoncello, lemon juice, simple syrup (if using), and ice cubes.
- Blend on high speed until smooth and slushy.
Adjust Consistency:
- If too thick, add a splash of sparkling water or prosecco.
- If too thin, add more ice and blend again.
Serve Immediately:
- Pour into chilled glasses and garnish with lemon zest and fresh mint leaves.
Enjoy!
- Serve immediately and sip this frosty Italian delight.
Notes
- For a stronger flavor, let the limoncello freeze slightly before blending.
- If you prefer a dairy-free creamy version, blend in a scoop of lemon sorbet.
- Adjust sweetness by adding more or less simple syrup.
