Ingredients

  • 4 cups frozen watermelon chunks using frozen watermelon keeps the slush perfectly cold and slushy without needing ice
  • 1/2 cup coconut water adds subtle sweetness and hydration
  • 2 tablespoons lime juice freshly squeezed for the best flavor
  • 1 tablespoon honey or agave syrup natural sweetener to enhance the watermelon's sweetness
  • fresh mint leaves for garnish and a hint of refreshing aroma

Instructions

  • Make sure your watermelon chunks are frozen solid. If you bought fresh watermelon, cut it into chunks and freeze them for at least 4 hours or overnight. Fresh lime juice is essential here; avoid bottled lime juice for the best taste.
  • Add the frozen watermelon chunks, coconut water, lime juice, and honey (or agave syrup) into a high-speed blender. The coconut water will help the blender process the frozen fruit smoothly while infusing subtle tropical notes.
  • Pulse the blender a few times to break up the frozen watermelon, then blend continuously until the mixture is smooth and has a slushy texture. If the mixture is too thick and won’t blend well, add a splash more coconut water to help it along, but be careful not to dilute the flavor.
  • Give your slush a quick taste. If you prefer it sweeter, add a little more honey or agave syrup and blend again briefly. If you want it tangier, squeeze in a bit more lime juice.
  • Pour the slush into chilled glasses and garnish each with a few fresh mint leaves. The mint adds a lovely aroma and a splash of color that makes this mocktail feel extra special.

Equipment

  • High-Speed Blender
  • Glasses

Notes

  • Freeze watermelon chunks ahead of time for the best icy slush texture.
  • Use fresh lime juice instead of bottled for a brighter, fresher flavor.
  • Store leftovers in the freezer and re-blend before serving to restore texture.
  • Try variations like adding fresh ginger or swapping honey for maple syrup to customize flavor.
  • Avoid adding too much coconut water to prevent diluting the slush.
