Strawberry Key Limeade Slush Recipe

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!

You can also make this Key Limeade Slush recipe even easier by buying a jug of lemonade or limeade and just adding the strawberries and ice in a blender!
