Ingredients
Equipment
Method
- Measure and prepare your ingredients: cube the watermelon, measure out the ice, honey, and lime juice.
- Add the watermelon cubes, ice, honey, and lime juice into your blender.
- Secure the lid tightly on the blender and blend on high speed until the mixture is smooth and frosty, about 30-45 seconds, listening for the icy crunching sound.
- Stop the blender and check the consistency; it should be thick and slushy with a vibrant pink color.
- Pour the watermelon slushie into glasses, allowing the icy mixture to fill the cups smoothly.
- Serve immediately with a straw or garnish with a small wedge of lime or mint if desired, for an extra refreshing touch.
Notes
You can adjust the sweetness by varying the honey or syrup amount. For a thinner slushie, add a splash of cold water or more lime juice before blending.
There’s something so satisfying about the way frozen watermelon transforms into a cool, velvety sip. It’s perfect for hot days, spontaneous cravings, or just when you want a little retro fruit fun.
