Pink Lemonade Vodka Slush is the perfect large-batch summer cocktail. Combining frozen concentrate with fresh lime juice, Sprite, and vodka makes this one a big-time repeat!
When I’m not mixing up a large batch of slush, I love making other frozen cocktails. Try my layered Blackberry Peach Frozen Margaritas, some Strawberry Lemonade Frozen Margaritas, and the best Frozen Pina Coladas!
Pink Lemonade Vodka
My slush obsession began as a teenager when my mom made “buckets” of slush for our great big family. We grew up being allowed a small slush as kids (GASP!) as long as we were home and safe under our parent’s roof.
In fact, my first taste of slush was the Frozen Vodka Slush which may be my favorite one. We drank them during the cold Iowa winters and especially at Thanksgiving and Christmas.
Since then, I’ve experimented with other flavors and thought it was time for something new. Pink lemonade spells summer to me and is needed during our endless heat waves here in Texas (or wherever you are in the world)!
Why This Recipe Works:
- SIMPLE – This easy pink lemonade vodka slush combines just four simple ingredients and doesn’t require any special equipment. No need to rent a slushie machine, folks.
- REFRESHING – These slushy cocktails are just the thing for a hot summer day. If you are used to warm weather like we are, make a big batch of this vodka cocktail.
- TASTY – We love the taste of a simple recipe that combines tart lemonade with your favorite vodka, some lemon-lime soda, and fresh lime juice. Try it!
- FUN FOR PARTIES – Who doesn’t like a boozy slushie to welcome summer? Enjoy these with all of your friends.
Ingredients needed for Pink Vodka Slush:
This is a super short ingredient list – just like we want for summer cocktails!
- Lemonade – You’ll need two cans of pink lemonade concentrate for this slush. This pre-made lemonade can be found in the frozen section of most grocery stores.
- Limes – Three large limes will yield approximately 6 ounces of juice.
- Sprite – You’ll need some Sprite for the slush and more to serve.
- Vodka – Use good quality vodka like Kettle One for best results.
- Lemon – Fresh lemon slices make a nice garnish.
- Water – Some cold water is needed too.
How to make Pink Lemonade Vodka Slush:
Step 1
Thaw lemonade. Scoop pink lemonade from the cans into a large mixing bowl or airtight container. Let thaw completely.
Step 2
Add remaining ingredients. Add all remaining ingredients – water, vodka, freshly squeezed lemon juice, cold water, and Sprite to the container and mix well.
Step 3
Freeze. Place the slush into the freezer for at least 12 hours to freeze completely.
Step 4
Serve. Serve slush in pretty glasses with a lemon slice and a bit more Sprite (if desired). You could also use fresh fruit to top each frozen drink.
This slush lasts in the freezer for up to three months.
Recipe Variations:
- Use raspberry lemonade to make raspberry slushies. I’d also recommend topping them with fresh raspberries to serve.
- Make a patriotic vodka lemonade by using some blue curacao and plain lemonade.
- Add some fun garnishes to the top of the vodka slushies, depending on what you are celebrating or what you have on hand.

Party Snacks to pair with these slushies:
I always recommend having plenty of snacks while sipping on cocktails.
- Homemade Pretzel Bites – I recommend making a double batch of these to freeze some for later. 😀
- Honey Roasted Nuts – You can’t go wrong with some sweet and spicy nuts.
- Ricotta Crostini – This one is great served at room temperature.
- Whipped Feta Dip with Honey – The one that makes you say hmmmm, what is that? 😀

Looks delicious! I have reusable adult drinking pouches. Do you think I could freeze the mixture in the individual bags?
Yes, I think that would work great!
I had a recipe at one time for a cherry koolaid vodka slush but lost it . Do you have any recipes like that.
Hi! Do you think this would work as well with tequila as it does with vodka?
It would work fine. I prefer a more neutral liquor (vodka) with these, however. I have lots of margarita recipes that you could make as well!
I have been tasked with making pink lemonade for a 5yo birthday party. While I can not add vodka…this time, have you had anyone make this in the mocktail form? And if so, any reviews? It sounds like this would still be good for the kiddos. Your thoughts?
Hi Jamila. I have not made this in mocktail form, but I think you could do it. It will get VERY hard (adding vodka keeps it softer) in the freezer, so you’ll need extra time to get it softened enough to serve. Good luck!
Perfect for those hot summer days!
I agree 100%!
This is a refreshing drink. I am a lightweight and I really enjoy this slush. Just the right amount of ingredients for a warm day or night in Texas. So easy to make and it makes enough to have on hand whenever needed. It is easy to grab a cup at anything. This slush is my new favorite!! YUM!! Oh, by the way, the color of it makes me happy!
I love the color too. AND the taste! Thanks for your feedback, Michelle!
