- 2 tablespoons freshly squeezed lime juice
- 1 tablespoon sugar (optional)
- 2 cups ice cubes
- Fresh mint leaves (optional for garnish)
Instructions
- Prepare Watermelon: Cut the watermelon into chunks, making sure to discard any seeds. Fresh, seedless watermelon ensures a smooth slushie texture.
- Blend Ingredients: Place the watermelon chunks, freshly squeezed lime juice, sugar (if using), and ice cubes into a blender. Blend the mixture until it achieves a smooth and slushy consistency.
- Adjust Sweetness: Taste the slushie and if needed, add more sugar or lime juice to balance the flavor. Blend again briefly to incorporate any additions.
- Serve: Pour the slushie into chilled glasses. Add fresh mint leaves on top as a garnish if desired for an extra refreshing aroma and presentation.
- Enjoy: Serve immediately to enjoy the icy, refreshing slushie at its best.
Notes
- Use ripe, seedless watermelon for the best flavor and texture.
- Adjust the amount of sugar based on the sweetness of your watermelon and personal preference.
- For a thicker slushie, add more ice or freeze the watermelon chunks beforehand.
- Fresh lime juice is preferred for a bright and natural citrus flavor.
- Mint leaves add a refreshing garnish but can be omitted if unavailable.
