Watermelon Cucumber Slushie



Thug Kitchen
  • 3 pounds of watermelon (seedless is best but some seeds are cool)
  • ½ cup skinned, chopped cucumber
  • juice from 1 lime (about 2 tablespoons)
  • 8-10 fresh mint leaves
  • ¾ cup coconut or tap water
  • 1 teaspoon agave, maple syrup, or honey (optional)
  • vodka (optional)
Cut away the rind and chop up the watermelon flesh into pieces no larger than a quarter. You should get about 4 cups. Don’t stress about some seeds, they will get chopped the fuck up in the blender. Just get rid of any big ones you notice. Freeze the chopped watermelon for at least 4 hours or overnight. The watermelon is going to create the slush factor so you want to make sure that shit really fucking frozen.

When the watermelon chunks are frozen add them along with the cucumber, lime juice, mint leaves, and water to a blender and blend until it is all smooth and icy. If you picked out a shitty watermelon you might need to add a teaspoon of a sweetener to make up for the weak melon. Taste it, you’ll know. Trust.

Had a rough day? Replace up to a ½ cup of the water with vodka and get the fuck over it.

Makes about 2 ½ cups of sweet summer slush, enough for 2 people who need to chill the fuck out. Watermelon chunks will stay good in the freezer for at least a month no problem.
