Melon Lime Slushy Recipe

Melon Lime Slushy Recipe

  • 6 cups diced honeydew, cantaloupe or watermelon
  • 1/4 cup fresh lime juice, plus more to taste
  • 1/2 cup sugar, plus more to taste
  • 1 teaspoon fresh thyme leaves, plus sprigs for garnish
  • 1/2 cup silver tequila or mezcal (optional)
  1. Spread melon pieces on a rimmed baking sheet in a single layer. Freeze until just hard, about 1 hour.
  2. Transfer melon pieces to a food processor and add lime juice, sugar, thyme, 1/2 cup water and tequila, if desired. Pulse until smooth and slushy, scraping the sides of the bowl occasionally. Add water if you prefer a thinner consistency. Add lime juice and sugar to taste.
  3. Divide among serving glasses and garnish with thyme sprigs. Serve immediately with spoons, or let melt slightly to serve as a drink
