Wash the lemons thoroughly to remove any wax or residue. Use a vegetable brush if necessary.
Slice the lemons in half and juice them until you have about 1 cup of fresh lemon juice. Strain the juice to remove any seeds or pulp, if desired.
In a high-speed blender, combine the fresh lemon juice, granulated sugar, and cold water.
Add the ice cubes to the blender. Start with 4 cups of ice for a slushy texture, adding more if desired for a thicker consistency.
Blend on high speed until the mixture becomes smooth and slushy, usually about 1β2 minutes.
Taste the slushy lemonade and adjust the sweetness by adding more sugar if needed. Blend again briefly to incorporate any adjustments.
Pour the slushy lemonade into glasses and garnish with lemon slices and fresh mint leaves, if desired.
Serve immediately with a straw or spoon and enjoy the icy, refreshing beverage!
