Description
A quick and refreshing watermelon slushie made with sweet watermelon, fresh lime juice, and ice, blended into a smooth and icy summer drink.
Ingredients
4 cups seedless watermelon, cubed and frozen or chilled
1 tablespoon fresh lime juice
1–2 teaspoons honey or sugar (optional, adjust to taste)
1 cup ice cubes
Fresh mint leaves or lime slices for garnish (optional)
Instructions
- Add the watermelon cubes, lime juice, honey or sugar (if using), and ice cubes to a blender.
- Blend until the mixture becomes smooth and slushy.
- Taste and adjust sweetness or lime juice as needed, then blend briefly again to combine.
- Pour into glasses, garnish with mint leaves or lime slices if desired, and serve immediately.
Notes
For a fizzy twist, add a splash of sparkling water after blending.
Blend in strawberries for added sweetness and color.
Add fresh basil leaves for a light herbal flavor.
For best texture, serve immediately after blending.
If frozen, re-blend before serving to restore slushy consistency.
