Since it’s the unofficial last “summer” weekend, I figured we’d go out with the most quintessential summer fruit there is.
Watermelon.
(oh, look…there I am in the spoon again)
I hope you’re barbequing, hanging out at the beach or chilling at a pool like the rest of the country, but I also hope you have a blender nearby.
This is like a Wendy’s frosty gone fruity. It’s even got that exact same consistency right smack in the middle of being too thick for a straw and too liquidy for a spoon so you either look like an emaciated fish trying to suck it up or a giant slob trying to shove it in your face.
I know you know what I’m talking about. Don’t front.
Just try not to get it all over your white pants you’re rocking out that one last time.

Thank goodness! I have 4 melons on my counter and it’s just my Husband and I! I am making this today, probably multiple times!! Thanks for the recipe Gina!! I can’t wait to make it!!
Looks like a great porch sitting drink to me!
Hehehe, I always wind up in the spoon. This looks so refreshing.
Slurp. And yes, vodka would be reallllly good in there

YUM! I have been obsessed with making watermelon slushy drinks this summer. So much so that I have an unlimited supply of watermelon waiting for me in the freezer! I haven’t thought of adding a banana to make it creamy though! I love this, I will for sure try it this way this week.
By the way, I made a drink recipe that included frozen watermelon and basil and those two go together beautifully!!
Sooo, I thought watermelon would be over and then our csa gave us another one this week. I also happen to have a TON of basil on hand right now. Must.combine.them
lol I haven’t worn white pants all year this year – something about toddler grabby hands and whit pants doesn’t go together.
ps- did you add vodka? looks like this would go well with some vodka or gin.
I didn’t. I should’ve.
Yummy! I don’t understand how watermelon does this, but it is sooo good! Your frosty looks delicious!
This looks so delicious and perfect for the watermelon in my fridge!
