Method
Prepare Glasses (optional)
- 1
Sugar rim
If desired, place the 1/2 cup sugar on a small plate. Rub a lemon wedge around the rim of 4 serving glasses, then dip the rims into the sugar to coat. Set glasses in the freezer to chill while you prepare the slush.
Make Frozen Lemonade
- 2
In a high-powered blender combine 8 oz Wheatley vodka, 3 oz Paula's Texas Lemon, and 24 oz fresh lemonade.
- 3
Add 6 cups of ice to the blender. If you prefer a stronger lemon flavor, add 1–2 additional lemon wedges (no seeds) or 0.5–1 oz additional lemon liqueur; if you prefer slightly sweeter, add 0.5 oz simple syrup.
- 4
Pulse on low twice to break up the ice, then blend on high for 30–45 seconds until the mixture is smooth and slushy. If the mixture is too thin, add 1 cup more ice and blend again for 15–20 seconds. If too thick, add 1–2 oz chilled lemonade and briefly re-blend.
- 5
Taste and adjust: check sweetness and strength; add small increments of lemonade for dilution, sugar/simple syrup for sweetness, or 0.5 oz vodka for more kick. Blend briefly to incorporate any additions.
Serve & Garnish

- 7
Garnish each glass with 3 mint leaves (slap the leaves between your palms briefly to release aroma) and a lemon wedge on the rim.
- 8
Serve immediately with a straw or short spoon. Advise guests to sip quickly — the slush will slowly melt into a very boozy lemonade.
