Watermelon Slushie

All summer long, I’m surrounded by the sounds of ices chewing and ices scraping and granita making, and I’m just not tolerating it! This super-refreshing recipe does all the ice chomping for you, so the only sound I want to hear is slurping (which I’m surprisingly okay with). 

Serves 8 

• 4 cups cubed watermelon,
• frozen (about ⅛ large watermelon)
• 2 cups lychee juice
• 1 cup guava juice or passion fruit juice
• 2 Tbsp lime juice
• ½ tsp salt
• 1 tsp cayenne pepper (optional)
• 1 cup vodka (optional)

Blend or food-process all ingredients until fully blended.
