Watermelon Slush Drink

Start with fully frozen watermelon chunks and fresh lime or lemon juice, then blend in short bursts until you get that thick, icy texture. Add a little honey or your preferred sweetener to taste and just enough cold water to help it blend without watering it down. Serve immediately for the best refreshing slush experience.

Freezing the watermelon ahead of time is key because frozen fruit gives you that icy texture right out of the blender. Avoid adding too much extra liquid like water or juice before blending so you keep the slush thick rather than thin.

Freeze watermelon chunks flat in a single layer for at least 2 to 4 hours until completely solid so they blend into a proper slush rather than juice. You can also leave them overnight for a frostier texture.

Yes if your watermelon is very ripe and sweet you may not need any extra sugar or honey at all. Just blend the frozen fruit with a splash of lime juice. If it tastes a bit flat, add sweetener a teaspoon at a time until it’s just right.

Absolutely, many people add other frozen fruits like strawberries, raspberries or peaches for extra flavour and colour. Just remember if you use fresh fruit instead of frozen, you may need to add a bit of ice to keep the right slush texture.

If your slush is too dense, add a splash of cold water or a little more fresh juice and pulse again until it loosens up. Blend in small amounts so you don’t over-thin it.

This slushie tastes best right away. If it melts, the texture becomes more like juice. You can freeze leftovers in a sealed container or ice cube tray for a short time and re-blend briefly when you want to serve again.

Sure you can, many people add a splash of vodka, rum, tequila or sparkling wine to turn it into a fun adult drink. Just be sure to add the alcohol after your slushie is blended so it mixes evenly without affecting freezing texture too much.
