Santa’s Boozy Watermelon Slushy

Christmas has come early with this festive cocktail! - by Jane Ash
  • 26 Nov 2019
Santa’s Boozy Watermelon Slushy
Prep: 15 Minutes - Easy - Serves 4
Proudly supported by

TIP! Watermelon puree can be made up to one day ahead. Keep, covered, in the fridge. Replace grenadine with a good quality raspberry cordial, if preferred. For a sweeter drink, increase grenadine (or cordial) to 2 tablespoons.

Ingredients

1kg piece seedless watermelon, chilled

½ cup orange-flavoured liqueur

1 tablespoon grenadine

2 teaspoons lime juice

4 cups crushed ice

Small watermelon wedges, to serve

Method

  1. Cut rind from watermelon and discard. Chop watermelon into pieces. You need 600g (about 4 cups). Place in a blender. Blend until pureed. Strain through a sieve into a large jug to give 2 cups watermelon juice. Discard pulp. 

  2. Add liqueur, grenadine and lime juice to watermelon puree. Stir well.

  3. Just before serving, place 1 cup crushed ice in each glass (1 cup-capacity) Divide watermelon mixture over the ice. Decorate with small wedges of watermelon.
