Watermelon rum lemonade slushies are the perfect summer drink

Slushies are the ultimate beat-the-heat summer refreshment, and all you need to make them is a few good ingredients and your blender.

Though our watermelon rum lemonade slushy recipe takes little time to prepare, you do need to plan ahead. Frozen chunks of watermelon are the primary ingredient for this drink, which means you’ll have to get your melon in the freezer in advance (instructions below).

When it’s time to refresh your guests, place frozen watermelon chunks, lemonade and rum in a blender and blend on high speed until well combined. Add crushed ice and continue blending until you get that slushy consistency. Immediately pour the mixture into glasses.

HOW TO: Pick the perfect watermelon, cantaloupe or honeydew

Don’t just stick a straw in your slushy: Turn this quick summer treat into a resort-worthy drink. Add two fresh mint sprigs to the top of each slushie, then slip a lemon wheel on the side of each glass and serve.
