This 2-ingredient frosted lemonade is the kind of simple, crowd-pleasing treat that disappears faster than you can set the pitcher down. My Aunt Susan has been bringing a big glass pitcher of this creamy, pale yellow refresher to every garden party, potluck, and backyard cookout for as long as I can remember, and there’s never a drop left. It’s just lemonade and vanilla ice cream whirled together into a frosty, sippable dessert that feels a little special but takes almost no effort—perfect for busy families and last-minute get-togethers.

Serve this frosted lemonade in a clear glass pitcher so everyone can see the thick, creamy layers and frosty condensation on the outside. I like to pour it into chilled glasses and add a paper straw for the kids and a lemon slice on the rim for the adults. It pairs beautifully with grilled burgers, hot dogs, simple sandwiches, or a big bowl of popcorn on movie night. For parties, set the pitcher on the counter next to a tray of cookies, fresh fruit, or light finger foods so people can refill their glasses as they mingle.
