Have you ever had a craving for a food from your favorite restaurant? I have. You can ask my kids about the time I became obsessed with finding the perfect peanut butter sundae. Thankfully, I received a copy of Stephanie Manley’s Dining Out at Home CopyKat cookbook, Volume 2 for review. Now when I become obsessed with a recipe, it’s much easier to make it at home. During the summer I enjoy frozen lemonade drinks, like the Taco Bell Pina Colada Frutista Freeze I shared earlier from the CopyKat Cookbook, so when I saw a recipe for McDonald’s Frozen Strawberry Lemonade, I whipped up a batch for our family. The recipe is so simple. It has three ingredients and one of them is ice! I like Cherry Lemonade also so I substituted ingredients and made a batch of Cherry Lemonade too. The possibilities are endless with this recipe. So many lemonade combinations, so little time to enjoy them all before summer is over.
McDonald’s CopyKat Frozen Strawberry Lemonade
Recipe Type: Beverage
Cuisine: American
Author: Stephanie Manley with adaptations by me
Prep time:
Total time:
Serves: 2
A simple frozen lemonade drink with endless possibilities.
Ingredients
- 2 cups lemonade (you can make it from scratch, from concentrate, from a mix, Ms. Manley recommends Country Time, or buy a bottle of premade if you are in a hurry)
- 1/2 cup ice cubes
- 2 teaspoons strawberry ice cream topping (Substitute any type of fruit topping you want. I’ve tried cherry, mixed berry and pineapple. It works with any of them.)
Instructions
- Place all ingredients in a blender and puree until smooth. Pour into glasses and serve.
Do you have a simple frozen drink your family enjoys that you serve during the summer? Share it with us. We would love to have new ideas for treats around our home.

My son is going to be excited for me to make this. He doesn’t like soda, tea, or most drinks… but Lemonade is fabulous to him!

You ladies have a really good mixture of great looking summer cool off drinks. I just visited another site that had a page with around six different varieties of lemonade.
