Description
A refreshing and simple frozen drink perfect for hot days, made with frozen watermelon and lime juice.
Ingredients
Main Ingredients
- 4 cups seedless watermelon, cubed and frozen (Choose a heavy watermelon for juiciness.)
- 2 to 3 tablespoons fresh lime juice (about 1 to 2 limes) (Use fresh for best flavor.)
- 1 to 2 teaspoons lime zest (optional) (Boosts the flavor.)
- 1 to 2 tablespoons sweetener, optional (honey, agave, or maple) (Adjust based on sweetness of watermelon.)
- 1 pinch salt (Enhances the fruit flavors.)
- as needed tablespoons cold water (Add only if the blender struggles.)
Instructions
Preparation
- Add frozen watermelon cubes to your blender.
- Pour in fresh lime juice and add lime zest if using.
- Add a pinch of salt to enhance flavors.
- Blend until thick and icy. If the mixture is too thick, add 1 tablespoon of cold water at a time to help it blend.
- Taste and if needed, add a little sweetener and blend again.
- Pour into glasses and serve immediately.
Notes
Serve immediately for the best texture. You can freeze leftover slush in an airtight container, then reblend when you’re ready to serve again.
