- Blend the mixture on high until smooth, about 1-2 minutes. Ensure there are no large chunks of watermelon left for that perfect slushie texture.
- Taste your slushie after blending! If you prefer it sweeter, add a tad more sugar or a splash of lemon juice for extra zing before blending again.
- Pour the slushie into chilled glasses and enjoy! This refreshing drink is best served right away while it's icy and frosty.
