Ingredients
Scale
- 4 cups seedless watermelon, cubed
- Juice of 2 medium limes (about 3 tablespoons), freshly squeezed
- 1 to 2 tablespoons honey or agave syrup
- 2 to 3 cups ice cubes
- Mint leaves (optional, for garnish or blending)
- Pinch of salt (optional)
Instructions
- Cut about 4 cups of seedless watermelon into cubes. Freeze for at least 1 hour for extra chill factor.
- Roll limes on counter, cut in half, and squeeze out about 3 tablespoons of juice. Strain seeds if needed.
- In a blender, combine watermelon cubes, fresh lime juice, 1 to 2 tablespoons honey or agave syrup, and 2 cups ice cubes. Blend on high for 1-2 minutes until smooth and slushy.
- If too thick, add a splash of water or coconut water and pulse again. If too thin, add more ice cubes gradually and pulse until desired texture.
- Taste and adjust sweetness or lime juice as desired, blending briefly to mix.
- Serve immediately in tall glasses, garnished with fresh mint leaves and a lime wheel if desired.
Notes
Freeze watermelon cubes beforehand to avoid watery slush. Use fresh lime juice for best flavor. Blend in short bursts to maintain icy texture. Adjust sweetness to taste. Leftovers can be frozen and re-blended within 24 hours.
