Equipment
- 1 Blender
- 1 Measuring cups
- 1 Measuring spoons
- 1 Ice cube tray (optional)
- 1 Pitcher or large bowl
Ingredients
- 2 cups fresh strawberries, hulled and halved
- 4 cups seedless watermelon, cubed and chilled
- ΒΌ cup fresh lime juice (about 2 limes)
- 2 tablespoons honey or agave syrup (optional, adjust based on sweetness preferences)

- Wash and prepare the strawberries by hulling and cutting them in half.
- Cut the watermelon into cubes, making sure to remove any seeds if necessary.
- Place the strawberries, watermelon, lime juice, honey or agave syrup (if using), and ice cubes (if desired) into the blender.
- Blend the mixture on high speed until smooth, ensuring there are no chunks remaining.
- If the mixture is too thick, you can add a little water to help thin it out.
- Taste the slush and adjust sweetness if needed by adding more honey or agave, then blend again briefly to combine.
- Pour the slush into glasses and serve immediately. Garnish with a slice of watermelon or strawberry on the rim for a decorative touch, if desired.
- For an adult version, consider adding a splash of rum or vodka to each serving.
- This slush can be stored in the freezer for up to an hour before serving, but for best results, enjoy it fresh.
