INGREDIENTS:

• ¼ cup freshly squeezed lime or lemon juice

• ¼ cup sugar

• 4 cups cubed seedless watermelon

• 1 cup chilled (preferably frozen) vodka

• Lemon or lime wheels and mint sprigs for garnish

INSTRUCTIONS:

1. Combine the lime juice and sugar in a small bowl and stir until dissolved.

2. Make space in the freezer for a 9 x 13 baking dish. Arrange the watermelon in the dish, then pour the sugar-lime juice all over the watermelon and freeze at least 4 hours and up to 24.

3. Transfer the frozen watermelon and any frozen liquid to a blender along with the vodka and blend until slushy.

My Tips:

~ Attempting to break up the fucking-hard-as-rock watermelon cubes that froze together overnight in step 3 was a bitch! Solution? put more vodka over it cause alcohol doesn't freeze SCIENCE! Once it melts a bit, loosen it up by using an ice pick or wooden spoon to scoop it out of the tray.

~The slushie might get a bit thick, like, it won't go through a straw-thick. Solution? I added sparkling water and that gave it the perfect consistency.

~Serve it with the leftover slices of watermelon - you'll be eating it for days!
