Main Ingredients
- 4 cups cubed seedless watermelon
- 1/2 can frozen limeade
- 3 cups ice
Instructions
- Blend the Watermelon: In a blender, add the cubed watermelon and blend until it’s completely pureed. You may need to use a spoon periodically to push the watermelon down to ensure it blends smoothly.
- Add Limeade and Ice: Once the watermelon is pureed, add in the frozen limeade and ice. Blend again until the mixture reaches a slushie consistency.
- Serve and Enjoy: Pour the slushie mixture into glasses. Enjoy immediately for the best consistency and flavor!
Notes
- Can I substitute different fruit? Yes, you can use strawberries instead of watermelon, but you may need to add water to achieve the right consistency as strawberries have less water content than watermelon.
- Can I add alcohol? Absolutely! Add tequila to make margaritas (1 ½ oz per individual serving or 1/3 to ½ cup for a pitcher). Enjoy responsibly as it goes down smoothly! Alternatively, let the mixture melt and serve it with prosecco or champagne for a fizzy twist.
- What else can I do with this mixture? If you have leftovers, refrigerate them and serve over ice later. For an added touch, mix it with flavored soda water like Lacroix or Polar for a lighter, fizzy drink.
