Equipment

• Equipment Needed: Blender, measuring cups, and glasses.

Ingredients

  

• Ingredients
• 4 cups seedless watermelon cubed (fresh is best!)
• 1 cup ice cubes
• 2 tablespoons fresh lime juice about 1 lime
• 2 tablespoons honey or agave syrup adjust to taste
• 1 cup sparkling water or club soda optional for fizz
• Fresh mint leaves for garnish optional

Instructions

 

• Method
• Prep the Watermelon: Start by cutting the watermelon into cubes. You’ll want to remove any seeds if you’re using a variety that isn’t seedless. Chill the watermelon cubes in the refrigerator for about 30 minutes if you prefer a super cold slush.
• Blend the Ingredients: In a blender, combine the chilled watermelon cubes, ice, lime juice, and honey/agave syrup. Blend on high until smooth. If you like a chunkier texture, pulse the blender a few times instead of blending continuously.
• Taste and Adjust: Give the slush a taste. If you’d like it sweeter, add more honey or agave syrup, and blend again. You can also add more lime juice for a tangier flavor.
• Add Sparkling Water (Optional): If you want to make your slush fizzy, slowly mix in the sparkling water. This adds a fun twist and a bit of carbonation to your drink.
• Serve: Pour the slush into glasses, and garnish with fresh mint leaves for a pop of color. You can also add a slice of lime on the rim for an extra flair.
• Variations
• Berry Watermelon Slush: Add a cup of strawberries or raspberries to the blender for a fruity twist.
• Coconut Water Slush: Substitute sparkling water with coconut water for a tropical vibe.
• Spicy Watermelon Slush: Add a pinch of cayenne pepper or a slice of jalapeño for a spicy kick.
