Ingredients
  

4 cups watermelon, diced and seeded

1/2 cup lime juice (freshly squeezed for best flavor)

1/4 cup simple syrup (adjust to taste)

1-2 cups ice cubes

Fresh mint leaves (for garnish)

Lime wedges (for garnish)

Instructions
 

Prepare the Watermelon:

    - Start by cutting your watermelon into cubes. Make sure to remove any seeds for a smooth slushie texture.

      Blend the Ingredients:

        - In a blender, combine the diced watermelon, freshly squeezed lime juice, simple syrup, and 1 cup of ice cubes.

          - Blend on high speed until the mixture is smooth and slushie-like. If it's too liquidy, add more ice until you achieve the desired consistency.

            Taste Test:

              - Taste the slushie mixture. If you want it a bit sweeter, add more simple syrup. If you prefer it tangier, squeeze in a little more lime juice.

                Serve:

                  - Pour the watermelon lime slushie into chilled glasses. For an extra touch, garnish with fresh mint leaves and a lime wedge on the rim.

                    Enjoy:

                      - Serve immediately with a straw or a spoon, and enjoy this refreshing summer treat!
