Naturally sweetened, super refreshing, easily my favorite summer drink! This Limonana Slushie is a huge crowd pleaser and super quick to throw together
What are you guys doing for the 4th?? This is our first year celebrating out in PA! We always used to watch the fireworks over the Hudson River in NYC, but if there’s one thing I’ve learned, country people take their fireworks pretty seriously, so I’m not worried!
So, this Limonana Slushie is going to be really popular at your place, because honestly, who doesn’t love a frozen lemonade? Are you wondering what “nana” is?! This is actually a really common combo in Israel: “limon” – lemon (duh), and “nana” = mint! I add a bit of seltzer for a some fizz, and a generous handful of mint that is SO perfect with the fresh squeezed lemon juice. I love to make a big pitcher for summer parties, and if you’re into it, and over 21, add a splash of tequila or vodka! Solid cocktail 🙂
Make this and tag me, so I can see your summer vibes! @leanne.shor #lionsbread
Have a fun and SAFE 4th everyone!! xoxo L
