- 2 cups ice cubes
- 1 lime, juiced
- 4 tbsp honey or granulated sugar

- Add the 6 cups cubed seedless watermelon, 2 cups ice cubes, the juice of the 1 lime, 4 tablespoons honey or granulated sugar and the 2 fresh mint leaves to a blender for this Watermelon Refresher.
- Blend the watermelon, ice, lime, sweetener and mint until the mixture turns smooth and slushy with no large ice pieces left.

- Pour the watermelon and mint slushie into glasses straight from the blender pitcher while the ice still gives it a thick, frozen texture.
