Watermelon Slushies

This refreshing drink is made with fresh watermelon - so perfect for summer!

Another first for me...posting a recipe with watermelon. My blog is almost 11 years old and I have never posted a recipe with watermelon in it. For very good reason, I don't like it. I like watermelon flavored things, but not actual watermelon. I did, however, try this because I'm absolutely willing to try something even if I know I don't like it. I didn't like Philly Cheesesteaks or Chicken Parmesan and I love them now. So who knows, maybe I would appreciate this slushy even though I don't like watermelon. Still don't like watermelon....however, my older two kids and husband loved it and have made it multiple times since.

What you need:

• 6 cups watermelon cubes with no seeds
• 1/4 cup granulated sugar
• 1 Tbsp. lemon juice
• Sprite for serving
  

Directions:

1. Place watermelon cubes in a blender and blend until smooth. Strain to remove pulp. Place in a 9x13-inch glass dish.
   
2. Stir strained watermelon with granulated sugar and lemon juice.
3. Place glass dish into freezer for 2 to 3 hours, stirring with a fork every 45 minutes.
4. When ready to serve, scrape the watermelon slush with a large spoon into a glass. Pour a little Spirte and stir.
