Ingredients

• 5 cups seedless watermelon, cubed and frozen

• 1 cup cold water
• 1 cup ice cubes
• 10-12 fresh mint leaves (for garnish or blending, optional)
• Lemon slices or watermelon wedges, for garnish (optional)

Instructions

1.

Place the frozen watermelon cubes, fresh lemon juice, cold water, and ice cubes in a high-powered blender.

2.

Blend until smooth and slushy. If the mixture is too thick, add a bit more water, a tablespoon at a time, until desired consistency is reached.

3.

Taste and adjust for tartness—add a few extra watermelon cubes for more sweetness, if needed.

4.

Pour into glasses. Garnish with mint leaves and lemon slices, if desired. Serve immediately.

Zusatztipps für die Zubereitung

For an extra chill, freeze your serving glasses for 10 minutes before filling. This keeps your slushie colder longer and adds a frosty touch to presentation.

Varianten und Anpassungen

For an adult twist, add a splash of vodka or gin before blending. You can also substitute lime juice for lemon juice to create a different citrus flavor profile. Always use seedless watermelon or remove seeds before freezing to avoid bitterness and ensure smooth blending.

Serviervorschläge

Serve this refreshing slushie in chilled glasses garnished with fresh mint leaves and slices of lemon or watermelon wedges. Perfect for pool parties, picnics, or as a cooling treat on warm afternoons.
