Cuisine: American
Serves: 2 servings
Ingredients
- 4 cups watermelon, cubed and frozen
- 1/4 cup fresh mint leaves
- Juice of 1 lime
- 1 tablespoon agave syrup (optional)
Instructions
- Begin by preparing the watermelon. If you haven't done so already, cut a ripe watermelon into cubes and place them in a single layer on a baking sheet. Freeze the watermelon cubes for at least 2 hours or until completely frozen.
- Once the watermelon is frozen, gather your ingredients: the frozen watermelon cubes, fresh mint leaves, lime juice, and agave syrup (if using).
- In a blender, add the frozen watermelon cubes. Make sure to use a high-speed blender for the best texture.
- Add the fresh mint leaves to the blender. This will infuse the frosty with a refreshing mint flavor.
- Next, squeeze the juice of one lime into the blender. This will provide a zesty kick that complements the sweetness of the watermelon.
- If you prefer a sweeter frosty, drizzle in the agave syrup. Adjust the amount based on your taste preferences.
- Blend the mixture on high speed until it reaches a smooth and slushy consistency. Stop occasionally to scrape down the sides of the blender to ensure all ingredients are well combined.
- Once blended, taste the mixture and adjust the sweetness or lime juice as needed.
- To serve, scoop the watermelon mint and lime frosty into chilled glasses. Garnish with additional mint leaves or a slice of lime if desired.
- Enjoy your refreshing Watermelon Mint and Lime Frosty immediately for the best texture and flavor!
Tips
- Freezing Hack: For the smoothest texture, freeze watermelon cubes in a single layer to prevent clumping and ensure easy blending.
- Mint Matters: Use fresh mint leaves for the most vibrant flavor. If possible, choose young, tender leaves for maximum aromatics.
- Blender Brilliance: A high-speed blender is key to achieving that perfect slushy consistency. If your blender struggles, pause and scrape down the sides frequently.
- Sweetness Control: The agave syrup is optional. Taste your frosty before adding, as ripe watermelon can be naturally sweet enough.
- Serving Suggestion: Chill your glasses beforehand to keep the frosty cool for longer and create a beautiful frost effect.
- Variation Alert: For an adult version, you can add a splash of white rum or vodka to turn this into a refreshing cocktail!
