In a blender, combine the fresh lime juice, lime zest, and sweetened condensed milk. Blend until smooth.
Add the ice cubes, vanilla extract, and heavy cream into the blender. Blend on high speed until the mixture is thick and creamy.
In a small bowl or cup, dissolve the granulated sugar in the water to make a simple syrup. Stir well until the sugar is fully dissolved.
Pour the simple syrup into the blender and blend again for 1-2 minutes to fully incorporate all the ingredients.
Taste the mixture and adjust sweetness or tanginess by adding an additional teaspoon of sugar or a splash of lime juice if desired.
Once the frosty is thick and smooth, pour it into glasses, garnish with a slice of lime or a sprinkle of extra lime zest if desired, and serve immediately.
