Ingredients Equipment Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 4 cups ripe watermelon chunks preferably chilled for best texture
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon adds warmth and depth
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground ginger optional, for extra spice
  • 1 cup ice cubes adjust for desired slushiness
  • 1 tablespoon lime juice brightens flavor
  • 1 teaspoon honey or maple syrup optional, for sweetness

Equipment

  • Blender
  • Knife
  • Cutting board

Method
 

  1. Start by chopping the chilled watermelon into smaller chunks, making it easier to blend smoothly.
  2. Add the watermelon chunks to your blender, then sprinkle in the ground cinnamon and ginger for a warm, spicy note.
  3. Squeeze in the lime juice and drizzle over the honey or maple syrup, if using, for extra brightness and sweetness.
  4. Drop in the ice cubes to help create a thick, icy texture for the slushie.
  5. Blend everything on high speed until the mixture is smooth, thick, and slushy, with no large ice chunks remaining.
  6. Pour the vibrant pink slushie into glasses. Serve immediately with a straw or garnish with a slice of lime or spice sprinkle for a festive touch.

Notes

For a creamier texture, add a frozen banana before blending. Adjust spice levels to your preference. This drink is best enjoyed immediately for maximum icy freshness.
