Ingredients
Scale
1 (13.5 oz) can full-fat coconut milk, frozen solid in ice cube trays
1 cup fresh lemon juice
1/2 cup granulated sugar (or to taste)
1/2 cup cold water
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
Instructions
Pour the full can of coconut milk into a blender. If the milk is not completely frozen into cubes, freeze it first.
Add the fresh lemon juice, sugar, cold water, and vanilla extract to the blender.
Blend on high speed until the mixture is completely smooth and has the consistency of a thick slush or soft-serve ice cream. Stop and scrape down the sides as needed.
Taste the mixture. If you prefer it sweeter, add one tablespoon of sugar at a time and blend again briefly.
Pour the creamy frozen coconut lemonade into chilled glasses immediately. Serve with a straw.
Notes
For a tropical cocktail base, add 1.5 oz of white rum or vodka per serving before blending.
If you do not have time to freeze the coconut milk, chill the entire can in the refrigerator for several hours, then scoop the thick cream layer into the blender and add 1 cup of ice cubes instead.
Use fresh lemon juice for the best sweet and sour balance in this blended lemonade variation.
