slushy watermelon limeade

By Leave a Comment

After a day out in the sun, we needed something to cool us down. This watermelon limeade is cool and refreshing and only two ingredients!

During the summer, we always have watermelon chilling in the fridge. I dumped that in the blender and made a beautiful ruby juice. It did need some tang and the concentrated limeade made the best addition. This was blended with enough ice to make the perfect slushy summer treat.

Slushy Watermelon Limeade

3 cups watermelon juice (blended watermelon)
1 cup ice
1 limeade concentrate – 295mL can

In a blender, combine the blended watermelon, ice and the frozen limeade concentrate. Blend. Enjoy!

We thoroughly enjoyed the long weekend. Saturday was beautiful and hot and a great day to spend on the water. The kids were excited to go tubing and even Z went in the tube with hubby.

We had friends over after and had a great time cooking together in the kitchen and barbecuing outside. We had chicken, beef kebabs, warm potato salad and fresh naan. It was delicious!

We quenched our thirst with watermelon drinks. The kids had blended watermelon, happily pouring their drinks from the watermelon keg.

For our drinks, we had watermelon lime spritzers. The combination of the watermelon, lime and mint was refreshing. Perfect for a hot summer day!
