Ingredients
- 4 cups seedless watermelon, cubed and frozen
- 1/2 cup freshly squeezed lemon juice
- 1/4 cup water
- 2 tablespoons honey or agave syrup (adjust to taste)
- 10 leaves fresh mint
- 1 cup ice cubes
Instructions
- Prep the Ingredients: Start by cubing 4 cups of seedless watermelon. Spread the cubes on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and freeze for at least 2 hours, or until solid. This ensures a slushie texture.
- Blend the Base: In a blender, combine the frozen watermelon cubes, freshly squeezed lemon juice, water, honey or agave syrup, and fresh mint leaves. Blend until the mint is finely chopped and the mixture starts to come together.
- Add Ice: Add 1 cup of ice cubes to the blender. Blend again until the mixture is smooth and slushie-like. Taste and adjust sweetness if needed by adding more honey or agave syrup.
- Serve Immediately: Pour the Frozen Watermelon Mint Lemonade Slushie into glasses. Garnish with extra mint leaves and lemon slices if desired. Serve right away with a straw.
Notes

Strain the mixture if you prefer a smoother texture. Serve immediately for the best slushie consistency.Storage: This slushie is best enjoyed fresh but can be stored in the freezer for up to 2 hours. Stir well before serving if frozen solid.Variations: Add a splash of coconut water for a tropical twist. For a fizzy version, top with club soda. Garnish with extra mint leaves and lemon slices for a restaurant-style presentation.
