Ingredients

• 5 cups seedless watermelon, cubed and frozen

• 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 extra chill, freeze your serving glasses for 10 minutes before filling. This keeps the slushie colder longer and adds a delightful frosty touch.

Varianten und Anpassungen

For an adult twist, add a splash of vodka or gin before blending. Substitute lime juice for lemon for a different citrus kick. Seedless watermelon is strongly recommended; if using seeded, remove all seeds before freezing to ensure a smooth texture.

Serviervorschläge

Garnish with fresh mint leaves and lemon slices or watermelon wedges for a colorful presentation. Serve immediately for the best texture and flavor.
