  • Add the watermelon chunks to a blender and blend until smooth. This creates a vibrant base for the slush.
  • Pour the watermelon puree into glasses. Freeze for at least 1 hour to allow the slush to thicken.

  • Remove the slush from the freezer. Squeeze fresh lemon juice over the top. The lemon juice adds brightness and balances the sweetness.
  • Sprinkle a pinch of black salt over each serving. Black salt adds a unique savory note that complements the watermelon beautifully.

Recipe Notes

Good To Know

  • For an extra tangy twist, add a pinch of chaat masala along with the black salt—this classic Indian spice blend elevates the slush with a burst of savory-sour flavor kids will love.
  • Freeze the watermelon cubes for at least 2 hours before blending to achieve a thicker, frostier slush without needing additional ice, which can dilute the taste.
  • If serving at a party, pour the slush into hollowed-out mini watermelon shells for a fun, eye-catching presentation that doubles as a natural cup.
  • To make it a fizzy treat, top the finished slush with a splash of soda water or lemon-lime soda just before serving.

Expert Tips

  • For a more adult version of this slush, add a splash of vodka or tequila.
  • Adjust the sweetness to your liking by adding more or less simple syrup or your preferred sweetener.
  • If you don't have black salt, a small pinch of sea salt can be substituted, but it won't have the same unique flavor.

Storage Instructions

  • Store leftover slush in an airtight container in the freezer for up to 3 days. The texture may change slightly upon thawing, so give it a good stir before serving.
