Watermelon Key Lime Slushie Recipe
Watermelon is such a classic fruit on a hot summer day! Kick it up a notch by adding some key lime juice and making these Watermelon Key Lime Slushies. They’ll be a hit at your end of summer BBQ!
4 basic ingredients + 1 blender are all you need to whip up these simple slushies!
If you don’t have a zester to use on the limes, pull out your grater and use the section with the tiniest holes. Also, once you get down to the white under the green skin, STOP grating or zesting. The white part or “pith” is very bitter.
Now comes the easiest part, put everything in the blender and turn it into a delicious, cool slushie!
