Scale
Main Ingredients
- 4 cups seedless watermelon, cubed and frozen
- 1 cup prepared lemonade, chilled
- 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
- 1 to 2 tablespoons honey or simple syrup, optional
- 1 cup ice cubes
- Fresh mint leaves for garnish, optional
Instructions
- Combine Ingredients: Add the frozen watermelon cubes, prepared lemonade, fresh lemon juice, and honey or simple syrup if using into a high-powered blender.
- Blend Smooth: Blend the mixture until it becomes mostly smooth but still thick enough to hold some texture.
- Add Ice Cubes: Add the ice cubes to the blender and blend again until the mixture reaches a thick, slushy consistency.
- Taste and Adjust: Taste the slushie and add more honey or lemon juice if you prefer it sweeter or tarter, then blend briefly to mix.
- Serve: Pour the watermelon lemonade slushie into glasses, garnish with fresh mint leaves if desired, and serve immediately for best texture.
Notes
- Freeze watermelon cubes in a single layer for at least 4 hours before blending to ensure they freeze evenly.
- For an extra citrus boost, add a small amount of lemon zest to the blender along with the other ingredients.
- You can substitute limeade for the lemonade to give the drink a slightly different flavor twist.
