Just TWO Ingredients to make CopyCat Chick Fil A Frosted Lemonade

I get a LOT of questions about what we use to make these, and it’s literally just TWO ingredients and we almost always use the two shown above: Simply Lemonade which is NOT from concentrate and Breyers Natural Vanilla Ice Cream.

You obviously don’t need too use these two brands, but I can tell you, they are tried and tested and make a pretty close to perfect drink!

Of course, you can make this delicious lemonade treat in single serving sizes or you can do a big batch for larger gatherings. Or challenge the kids to create a lemonade stand, they’ll have the most popular lemonade stand around with this frosty beverage! *If you do that, make sure to print out our FREE Lemonade Stand printable signs!!

How to Make it more of a Frozen Lemonade Drink

If you are looking to make more of a frozen lemonade drink – we have done so by adding frozen concentrate directly, which makes it even icier, and usually a bit more tart. 

You can really add more or less lemonade as you see fit.

We like ours a bit thicker, but you can obviously thin it out by adding more lemonade.

I find that the creamier the ice cream is, the better these blend and taste. (In other words… spend a little bit more for the good stuff, you’ll be glad you did!)

If you are looking for an even more refreshing drink, you can also add ice to the blender for more of a slushy frosted lemonade. 

However you decide to make your own Chick-fil A cold lemonade drink at home, you’ll find that you can modify it to what you have on hand in your own home. Sometimes we make it with a lot of lemon flavor, and sometimes it’s just a hint of lemon – either way – it’s always a homemade lemonade treat that everyone loves! My kids always ask for my frosted lemonade copycat recipe and it’s so easy to whip up that I’m usually more than happy to make this delicious treat!

During the summer months, I just make sure to keep the key ingredients on hand (always on my shopping list to the local grocery store) and that way – I’ve always got good quality go to recipe on hand. The only thing wrong with making this drink is that my daughter usually asks me if I can make Chick Fil A Chicken Nuggets too, lol!

Serve in chilled glasses and garnish with lemon slices.

It is so easy to whip up and everyone in my family loves it.

We love it as an afternoon treat, but we actually enjoy this copycat Orange Julius recipe with breakfast quite often as well.

It tastes just like the Orange Julius drinks that you get at the mall, but obviously at a fraction of the cost!

The more that you make this recipe, the more that you can experiment with it.

My family prefers the simple Orange Julius type flavor, but sometimes I will add in strawberries or raspberries just to zing it up a little. get the recipe here.

The best thing about summer drink recipes is that you can always improvise with things that you have on hand, use lemons or limes (or even oranges or berries!) for garnishing.

I also love to find different serving options for our summer drinks and if we have drinks left over, I almost always pour them into popsicle molds so that the kids can enjoy them later!
