Summer is here! The days are long, and often warm, but nothing a refreshing watermelon lime & rum slush can’t remedy, right? This spiked slush is absolutely delicious and refreshing. Perfect for a summer day by the pool or a night on the patio.
Raise your hand if you love watermelon! It’s one of my favorite summer fruits. I love to keep it cubed in my fridge and snack on it throughout the day. It’s also a go-to when I’m at the beach, I love to bring it along in a cooler for a refreshing treat. And you know who else loves watermelon? Sadie! She’s obsessed with it.
Pairing together refreshing watermelon with tart lime seemed like a no-brainer when creating a spiked slush. I love that the ingredients to create this cocktail are minimal, too.
Watermelon Lime & Rum Slush
Super easy to make and light enough to drink during the day, this watermelon lime & rum slush is a crowd pleaser. You can also make it kid-friendly by holding the liquor!
Prep your ingredients ahead of time, by cubing the watermelon and chilling it in the fridge. You could also purchase lime juice, but honestly it really isn’t too hard to juice limes. I use this to get the job done.
Once I’m ready to make the slush, I toss all the ingredients into our Ninja blender – it’s strong and crushes the ice quickly. If you don’t have a blender on hand, try an immersion blender – they’re handheld and can also be quite powerful.
