Watermelon Slushy

It's summer time which means pool parties and picnics.  As I started packing my picnic basket with fruits and tea sandwiches, I noticed that I needed to wash my meal down with something cool and refreshing.  So I came up with a watermelon slushy.  This is perfect for hot summer days or lounging by the pool.

First grab yourself a watermelon and dice it up in cubes and freeze it. Taking a lemon, cut it in half, and squeeze it in a pitcher.

This might be tricky on a picnic, but at home you can decorate the glass with a sugar rim before pouring in your slushy.

Using the Dessert Bullet, push the watermelon cubes through the chute.  Out comes delicious watermelon icy.

Place the watermelon slush into a pitcher and add sparkling water and the lemon or lime juice.

To make the drink more cooling and refreshing, push ice cubes through the Dessert Bullet, making shaved ice, and adding to the top of your drink.

Garnish with a watermelon slice and a sprig of mint.

If you want to make your drink sweeter add honey or simple syrup.  Enjoy!
