Pro Tips for an Awesome Watermelon Slushie

1. Use frozen watermelon instead of ice.  This gives you the maxiumum flavor, while keeping the drink cold.
2. Adjust the sugar and lime juice to taste.  Every watermelon tastes different, so adjust the flavorings to your tastebuds.
3. Store the drinks in the freezer.  These slushies melt quickly, so it’s best to store them in the freezer until you’re ready to serve them.  Just make sure to break up any frozen pieces with a spoon before serving.

For this watermelon slushie, just blend together all the ingredients until smooth.  You can also make the slushies ahead of time, and just store them in the freezer until needed.  Break up the frozen slushie with a spoon until smooth, then serve.

How do you make watermelon juice?

Watermelon juice is one of the key ingredients in this frozen summer drink!  Getting watermelon juice is super easy: just purée fresh watermelon in a blender or food processor until smooth.  If you want to drink the watermelon juice by itself, you can pour the juice through a sieve to remove the pulp.
