Step 1
Freeze watermelon
Cut watermelon into cubes and freeze until solid for best slushie texture.
Step 2
Blend ingredients
Add frozen watermelon, ice, lime juice, and sugar (if using) into a blender.
Step 3
Blend until slushy
Blend until smooth and icy, scraping sides as needed to achieve a thick slush consistency.
Step 4
Serve immediately
Pour into glasses and serve right away for best texture. Garnish with mint if desired.
Best texture tip
Freeze watermelon in a single layer so cubes don’t stick together.
Blender control
Do not over-blend or the slush will become watery instead of icy.
Berry watermelon slush
Add frozen strawberries or blueberries for extra sweetness and color.
Coconut slush
Replace water or part of ice with coconut water for a tropical twist.
Freezer
1 month
Best consumed immediately; can be frozen but texture will change.
Q: Can I use fresh watermelon instead of frozen?
A: Yes, but you’ll need extra ice and the texture will be less creamy.
Q: Do I need sugar?
A: No, it depends on how sweet your watermelon is.
