The best frozen lemon drop martini slush you’ll ever have, honest! I’ve turned my awesome Lemon Drop Martini into a slushy version you’ll LOVE!
One of my most popular posts is “The Best Lemon Drop Martini You’ll Ever Have…”, which of course, contains the recipe for this cool, frozen lemon drop martini.
Disclosure: Frieda’s sent me a bag of Meyer Lemons, with no expectations whatsoever. I am happy to promote companies and products I use and love.
Especially when the summer months heat up, so do the searches for this cocktail. One of my favorite companies, Frieda’s Specialty Produce, sent me some Meyer Lemons and they gave me a brilliant idea: when the temps soar, why not make a slush version of this marvelous martini? I couldn’t think of any reason not to, so I tried it.
“Holy Lemon Drops, Batman!”
You have to try it, too! It’s a wonderfully frosty version that will cool you off during these hot summer days (and nights). Let me know what you think!
P.S. You may just hear angels singing!

You don’t know how perfect this recipe is right now! We just started making a batch of limoncello for our wedding gifts which means I have 100 home grown lemons without their skins all waiting for a solution to how I’m going to use them all! This is the perfect way – and it involves more alcohol so it’s win-win.
OMG, perfect timing for sure! That’s hilarious! Congratulations on your upcoming wedding, Amanda and I wish I could toast to you with one of those frozen lemon drops you’re going to make! :)
Love the idea of a slushy lemonade + Martini! Sounds amazing will have to try this!
Swap out that vodka for some gin, and I’d be all over this! So perfect on scorching days like today.
Yes, absolutely!
This frozen lemon drop sounds cra-mazing! First of all lemons are one of my favorite things to eat, drink and cook with. They just make everything better. Second I love a good lemon drop made with fresh lemons. And third you made it slushy – satisfying the kid in me. So yummy!
Spot on!!
I’m making this tonight for sure. Lovely and tempting pics.
That looks fantastic…especially today when I’m just prostrate from the heat.
I know, right? TOO HOT for TOO LONG! :(
Well, isn’t that a beautiful ray of sunshine on a hot desert day!
Oh goodness! You NEED these, David!! :)
Looks like an adult version of lemon sorbetto or granita… Only really, really quick. What’s not to like?
Exactly, Frank!! ;)
Perfect for this time of year!
I made a non-alcoholic version, too! Slushy lemonade! Wonderful!
Looks delicious Christina, I remember your lemon drop cocktail it looks so good and love this slushy, icy cold version of the original.
Thank you, Suzanne! Both are so good, but I love this slushy version for our super hot temps right now. :)
