Bright, icy, and bursting with real fruit flavor, this frozen strawberry lemonade is the kind of drink that makes a hot afternoon feel instantly better. It comes together with just a handful of clean, straightforward ingredients — fresh strawberries, squeezed lemons, and a quick homemade simple syrup — so you know exactly what's going into your glass. For anyone avoiding ginger, blended drinks and store-bought lemonades can be surprisingly tricky, since ginger shows up in everything from flavored syrups to bottled fruit beverages. Making it from scratch here means zero guesswork and zero unwanted heat. The simple syrup takes only a few minutes on the stove, and once it's chilled, the whole thing blends up into a gorgeous slushy in under a minute. You can nudge it sweeter or tangier right before serving, which makes it easy to get exactly the balance you're after. Garnish with a lemon slice and a sprig of fresh mint for a finish that looks as good as it tastes.

Combine the sugar and 1/3 cup water in a small saucepan over medium heat, stirring until the sugar is fully dissolved, about 2–3 minutes. Remove from heat and let the syrup cool to room temperature, then refrigerate until cold, at least 30 minutes.
Add the hulled strawberries, lemon juice, cold water, ice cubes, and all of the chilled simple syrup to a blender. Blend on high until completely smooth and slushy, about 45–60 seconds.
