A refreshing and vibrant Strawberry Watermelon Slush that combines fresh strawberries, juicy watermelon, and zesty lime juice, sweetened naturally with honey or agave syrup. Perfect for a cooling summer drink, served chilled and customizable with optional ice cubes for a thicker texture or a splash of rum for adults.

Ingredients

Main Ingredients

  • 2 cups fresh strawberries, hulled and halved
  • 4 cups seedless watermelon, cubed and chilled
  • ¼ cup fresh lime juice (about 2 limes)
  • 2 tablespoons honey or agave syrup (optional)
  • 2 cups ice cubes (optional for a slushier texture)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the fruits: Wash and hull the strawberries, then cut them in half. Cut the watermelon into cubes and remove any seeds to ensure a smooth blend.
  2. Combine ingredients: Place strawberries, watermelon cubes, lime juice, honey or agave syrup if using, and ice cubes if desired, into a blender.
  3. Blend the mixture: Blend on high speed until the mixture is smooth with no chunks remaining.
  4. Adjust consistency: If the slush is too thick, add a small amount of water and blend again until desired consistency is reached.
  5. Taste and adjust sweetness: Taste the slush and add more honey or agave syrup if needed, then briefly blend again to combine.
  6. Serve immediately: Pour the slush into glasses and garnish with a slice of watermelon or strawberry on the rim for decoration.
  7. Optional adult version: Add a splash of rum or vodka to each serving if desired.
  8. Storage suggestion: The slush can be frozen for up to one hour before serving but is best enjoyed fresh.

Notes

  • Use chilled watermelon and ice cubes for the best slush texture.
  • Adjust sweetness based on the natural ripeness of the fruits.
  • For a dairy-free and vegan option, use agave syrup instead of honey.
  • If the mixture is too thin, add more ice cubes and blend again.
  • Serve immediately to enjoy the optimal texture and freshness.
