1/4 cup fresh lime juice (about 2 large limes)

2–3 tbsp pure honey, agave nectar, or simple syrup

Instructions

Arrange the watermelon cubes in a single layer on a parchment-lined baking sheet and freeze for at least 4 hours or overnight until solid.
Add the frozen watermelon, lime juice, mint leaves, honey or agave, and coconut water to a high-speed blender. If making the cocktail version, add the rum, tequila, or vodka.
Blend on high for 1 to 2 minutes until thick, smooth, and slushy. Add a splash of additional coconut water or sparkling water if needed to help the blender.
Pour immediately into chilled glasses and garnish with fresh mint sprigs and lime wheels. Serve right away while icy and refreshing.

Notes

Freeze the watermelon in a single layer to prevent clumping. Adjust the sweetener depending on the sweetness of your watermelon. Serve immediately for the best slushy texture.
