Watermelon Lemonade Slushie
Icy cold, sweet but not too sweet, refreshing and tangy! This watermelon lemonade slushie will hit the spot on a hot summer day!
Ingredients
- 6 cups cubed and frozen watermelon
- 4 cups cubed refrigerated watermelon
- I used a about half of a 15 pound watermelon to get the 10 cups of cubed watermelon
- ¾ cup lemon juice. Fresh squeezed is best but concentrate will work!
- ¼ cup granulated sugar
Instructions
- Cut and cube 10 cups of watermelon into 1.5-2" cubes at least 4 hours in advance.
- Lay 6 cups of the cubed watermelon onto a parchment lined baking sheet, making sure the edges aren't touching.
- Freeze at least 4 hours.
- Store the other 4 cups in the refrigerator until ready for use.
- Once the watermelon is frozen, measure the lime juice into the bottom of a blender.
- Next add the refrigerated watermelon.
- Then the frozen watermelon. It's important the refrigerated goes on the bottom so it blends up nicely!
- Add the sugar.
- Blend!
- Add the additional 2 cups of frozen watermelon and blend until smooth.
- Serve immediately and enjoy!!
Notes
Store any leftovers in the fridge. It's great to drink thawed as just a watermelon limeade, or blend in some ice or more frozen watermelon to take it back to it's slushy form!
