Instructions
- Combine all the ingredients together in a blend and blend until smooth.
- Pour watermelon juice into ice cube trays and freeze overnight.
- Place 4 frozen ice cubes in a glass with a splash of lemonade and allow it to thaw slightly, enough that it becomes slushy and you can stir the lemonade into it.
- Serve immediately garnished with lime wedges (optional) and a straw.
Notes
- The amount of each ingredient you use will be dependent on how sweet your watermelon is. You want a combination of 2 TBS of liquid per 4 cups of watermelon and then sugar to add some sweetness. See recommendations below:
- Error on the side of the watermelon being average (per the notes above) and use 1 TBS lime juice, 1 TBS lemonade, and 2 TBS sugar if you can’t decide whether your watermelon is sweet or not.
- Store the frozen watermelon ice cubes in a freezer bag for up to six months. When you want to make a watermelon slushie, simply grab four of the ice cubes, add some lemonade, and enjoy!
- Prep this ahead of time by making the watermelon drink mixture and freezing the ice cubes overnight. Then to serve this for a party, just add the ice cubes to glasses with some lemonade a few minutes before serving. It’ll only take a few minutes to go from cubes to slushie and be the perfect summer drink!
- If the watermelon is average (not super sweet and not unsweet) – use 1 TBS lime juice, 1TBS lemonade, and 2 TBS sugar.
- If the watermelon is on the sweet side – use 1 ½ TBS lime juice, ½ TBS lemonade, and 1 TBS sugar.
- If the watermelon is not very sweet, use ½ TBS lime juice, 1 ½ TBS lemonade, and 2 TBS sugar.
