Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup chilled lemonade preferably freshly made or store-bought chilled
  • 1/2 cup watermelon juice freshly blended or store-bought
  • 1 cup crushed ice or ice cubes blended fine
  • optional fresh mint leaves for garnish and added cooling flavor
  • to taste honey or simple syrup optional, for extra sweetness

Equipment

  • Blender
  • Measuring Glass

Method
 

  1. Measure out chilled lemonade and watermelon juice, then pour them into the blender.
  2. Add crushed ice to the blender, filling it nearly to the top. This creates the slushy texture as it blends.
  3. Secure the lid on the blender and pulse a few times to begin breaking down the ice, then blend on high until smooth and icy, about 30 seconds. The mixture should look vibrant pink, thick, and frosty.
  4. Optional: add a drizzle of honey or simple syrup directly into the blender and pulse briefly to incorporate if you prefer extra sweetness.
  5. Taste the slushie and adjust sweetness if desired, then give it one more quick blend to combine.
  6. Pour the bright pink lemonade slushie into glasses, garnish with fresh mint leaves if desired, and serve immediately for the best cold, refreshing experience.

Notes

For a more intense watermelon flavor, add extra watermelon juice or blend in frozen chunks of watermelon before blending. For a spritzier finish, top with sparkling water just before serving.
