Notes
Storage and Freezing
Although watermelon slushies are best right after blending, if you have leftovers, you can pour the slushie into ice cube trays and freeze them. When you’re ready to enjoy it again, just blend the frozen cubes to restore the slushy consistency.
Pro Tip
For the best texture, make sure to use a high-powered blender or food processor. This will ensure that the ice and watermelon chunks blend smoothly, and you get that perfect slushy consistency.
