Watermelon Slush

This watermelon slush is made by blending frozen watermelon chunks with lime juice to create a icy, granular beverage with a bright pink hue. The texture is crunchy and refreshing, resembling a flavored crushed ice or slushie, with a slightly coarse consistency that melts in the mouth.

Ingredients
  

  • 4 cups watermelon chunks preferably seedless and cubed for easy freezing
  • 1 lime lime juice freshly squeezed for best flavor

Equipment

  • Freezer
  • Blender
  • Knife
  • Cutting board
  • Measuring cup

Method
 

  1. Cube the watermelon into small chunks and spread evenly on a baking sheet. Place the sheet in the freezer for at least 2 hours or until the watermelon is fully frozen.
  2. Once frozen, transfer the watermelon chunks into a blender. Add freshly squeezed lime juice.
  3. Process on high speed until the mixture becomes coarse and granular, resembling crushed ice. Pause to scrape down the sides as needed.
  4. Check the texture; if the mixture is too thick to blend smoothly, add a splash of water or lime juice to facilitate blending. Continue until evenly combined with a slushy, grainy consistency.
  5. Serve immediately in chilled glasses, garnished optionally with a lime wedge or small watermelon slice. The slush should be icy and refreshing, with visible crushed watermelon particles.

Notes

For a smoother consistency, process longer or add small amount of liquid. To enhance flavor, add a touch of mint or a sprinkle of salt before blending.
