Tips
- Note: You can customize this recipe by adding other fruits like strawberries or pineapple for additional flavors. You can also add a splash of rum or vodka to make it a cocktail. Adjust the sweetness level according to your taste preferences.
- Achieving the perfect slushie texture: Blend the ingredients until the mixture is smooth and slushy, with a consistency similar to a frozen drink. If it's too thick, add a little more ice or a splash of water; if it's too watery, blend in a bit more ice.
- How to choose a ripe watermelon: Choose a watermelon that feels heavy for its size and has a dull, not shiny, skin. Look for a creamy yellow spot on the bottom, which indicates ripeness. It should also sound hollow when tapped.
