Servings 3
Ingredients
- 4 cups Ice cubes
- 2 cups Watermelon chopped (seedless is best!)
- 1 cup Water
- ⅓ cup Sugar or sweetener of choice
- Small watermelon wedges for garnish optional
- Fresh mint sprigs for garnish optional
Instructions
- Load the Blender: Place the ice, chopped watermelon, sugar, and water into your blender pitcher. Don't worry if it looks like a lot of ice—that's the secret to the perfect slushy texture!
- Blend Until Smooth: Secure the lid and blend on high for about 2 minutes. You want to keep going until you don't hear any chunks of ice rattling against the blades. The mixture should be a smooth, consistent pink frost.
- Pour and Garnish: Immediately pour the mixture into tall glasses. If you’re feeling fancy, garnish the rim with a mini watermelon wedge and a sprig of fresh mint.
- Enjoy Immediately: Grab a straw and sip while it's nice and frosty!
