Ingredients
Scale
- 4 cups cubed and frozen watermelon (about 600g)
- 10–12 fresh mint leaves, washed and gently bruised
- 1 cup freshly squeezed and chilled lemonade (about 240 ml), sweetened with 1-2 teaspoons honey or agave
Instructions
- Freeze the watermelon cubes on a parchment-lined baking sheet for at least 4 hours or overnight.
- Juice 3-4 fresh lemons to yield about 1 cup of juice, sweeten slightly with honey or agave, and chill.
- Rinse and gently bruise the mint leaves to release flavor.
- Place frozen watermelon cubes in a blender and pulse until coarse icy texture forms (30 seconds to 1 minute).
- Add bruised mint leaves and chilled lemonade to the blender and blend on high until smooth and slushy (30-45 seconds).
- Taste and adjust sweetness by adding more honey/agave if needed; add more lemonade or cold water if too thick.
- Serve immediately in tall glasses, garnished with a mint sprig or lemon wheel.
Notes
Freeze watermelon cubes for at least 4 hours for best icy texture. Bruise mint leaves to release flavor. Use freshly squeezed lemonade for best taste. Adjust sweetness with honey or agave as needed. Blend in short bursts to avoid watery slush. Store leftovers in airtight container in freezer up to 2 days and re-blend before serving.
