This Strawberry Key Limeade Slush is the best summer drink because it's cold, refreshing and bursting with the flavors of summer!
Why we love this Strawberry Key Limeade Slush
I live just about 45 minutes from Key Largo, but somehow I haven't been down to the Keys in ages. I was craving a slice of key lime pie the other day and picked up a bottle of Key Lime juice at the grocery store with every intention of making key lime tarts...then life got in the way!
While I was too busy to actually make Key Lime tarts, I wasn't too busy to make Angeline and I this quick and easy Key Limeade slush, only I added in a few cups of frozen strawberries in the fridge to sweeten them up for Angeline.
Funny enough, after I made this Key Limeade Slush using this bottled key lime juice, I remembered that our neighbors have a lime tree. And it hangs directly over our yard. Possession is 9/10 of the law, right? What a shame that they're not ripe yet!

This looks SO good right now! I freeze our strawberries when they start to get soft and no one's going to eat them fast enough, and now I have a perfect way to use them in this summer heat. Thanks for sharing!

I could practically taste it. Sounds so refreshing but I'd definitely use lime juice that I don't have to squeeze myself, haha
