Are you a fan of Chick fil-A’s frosted lemonade?  Well, this spring, the Georgia-born fast food chain did a spin on it: the frosted sunrise.  It was available for only a limited time: March 5 to June 2.  If you didn’t get a chance to try it from this famous restaurant, I’ve got you covered.  It is so simple to make, you’ll be making them whenever the mood strikes.  Really, it’s that easy.

What ingredients are needed for a frosted sunrise from Chick-fil-A?

Chick fil-A uses their vanilla IceDream and Simply Orange juice, which is 100% pure orange juice.

I used 3 ingredients: Simply Orange, Breyer’s Homemade Vanilla Ice Cream, and some freshly squeezed juice from two orange wedges.

What kitchen appliance is needed to make a frosted sunrise?

The only thing that is needed is a blender.  You can use an immersion blender or a traditional one.  At Chick-fil-A, the employees use an immersion blender, but I chose to use a standard countertop blender.

What’s the best way to serve a frosted sunrise?

Pour this refreshing beverage into a tall, clear 16 ounce glass.  Serve with a straw or two.  Garnishes are not necessary, so save yourself the extra step and enjoy!

Pro Tips to Make an Awesome Frosted Sunrise

1. Use 100% pure pulp-free orange juice that’s not from concentrate.  If you can find Simply Orange, rejoice because you’ll have the real deal.
2. Use good quality vanilla ice cream that tastes creamy.
3. Use a little freshly squeezed orange juice to increase the orange flavor.

A frosted sunrise isn’t a dessert and isn’t a smoothie, but it’s definitely a tasty treat and one you won’t soon forget.  If you are craving Chick fil-A’s frosted sunrise, don’t be disappointed that this seasonal drink is no longer available; just get into the kitchen to whip up one up!
