Bright frozen watermelon and mint slush with pink grape notes and fresh lime—vegan, gluten-free, ideal for hot days.
# What You Need:
→ Fruit
01 - 4 cups seedless watermelon, cut into 1-inch cubes and frozen
02 - 1 cup strawberries, hulled and frozen
→ Liquids
03 - 1 cup non-alcoholic rosé or pink grape juice, chilled
04 - 2 tablespoons fresh lime juice
→ Fresh Herbs
05 - 1/4 cup fresh mint leaves, plus extra for garnish
→ Sweetener (optional)
06 - 1 to 2 tablespoons agave syrup or honey, optional, to taste
# Directions:
01 - Cut watermelon into 1-inch cubes and hull strawberries. Arrange fruit in a single layer on a sheet pan and freeze until solid, at least 4 hours or overnight.
02 - Place frozen watermelon, frozen strawberries, chilled non-alcoholic rosé or pink grape juice, fresh lime juice and mint leaves into a high-speed blender. Add the chosen sweetener if using.
03 - Pulse to break up the fruit, then blend on medium-high until smooth and slushy. If the mixture is too thick to process, add additional chilled juice 1 tablespoon at a time until it moves freely.
04 - Taste and adjust sweetness with additional sweetener or a splash of lime as desired, then briefly reblend to incorporate adjustments.
05 - Divide the slushy among chilled glasses, garnish with mint leaves, and serve immediately for best texture.
