Watermelon Lime Slush Ingredients
- Frozen Watermelon Chunks
- Ice
- Ginger Ale
- Fresh Squeezed Lime Juice
- Cane Sugar
- Water
- OPTIONAL Non alcoholic spirits (suggestions below)
How to Make Watermelon Lime Slushies
First things first, cut your fresh watermelon in small pieces and place in a single layer on a cookie sheet. Throw that in the freezer overnight and make sure your watermelon chunks are frozen solid before blending.
Back to the Watermelon Lime Slush, this drink is so easy! Literally all you do is throw everything into your blender and blend until smooth. There is no fancy method and you can’t mess it up.
Troubleshooting Your Watermelon Lime Slushie
Too thick? Add a tablespoon more of ginger ale or lime juice.
Too thin? Add a 1/4 more of frozen watermelon.
Not sweet enough? Some watermelon isn’t very sweet so you may want to add more cane sugar. I recommend a tablespoon at a time.
Tips For The Very Best Watermelon Lime Slush
- Use freshly squeezed lime juice. Store-bought lime juice just isn’t the same.
- Blend it up as you are serving it. This slushie doesn’t store well in the refrigerator or freezer and it melts quickly. Serving it as you need it, and immediately, is best.
- Garnish is everything. To make this slush even more fun, add mini watermelon slices, lime slices, and fun straws.
Make It A Mocktail!
If you are new here, we LOVE to make mocktails with non alcoholic spirits. I have tried so many different flavors and brands… But here are a few of my favorites to pair with these Watermelon Lime Slushies.
Add an ounce or two of:
- non alcoholic rum for a Caribbean beach inspired mocktail.
- non alcoholic vodka a great anytime option.
- non alcoholic tequila to mimic a watermelon margarita mocktail.
- non alcoholic champagne for a frose style drink.
For another delicious frozen mocktail, try this Miami Vice drink. It’s strawberry, coconut, and pineapple!
