Watermelon can easily be your best friend for Summer. These Watermelon Slushies are the best way to enjoy the fruit too. Astonishingly refreshing and chilling at the same time. These won’t have the creamy goodness of the Cantaloupe Slushies but will definitely quench your thirst and help you beat the heat in style.

I wanted to make a granita but the repetition of freezing and poking the frozen juice slab made me think twice and this slushies can easily be called as the closest sister to Granita. It entails less work but gives you the satisfaction of having enjoyed a granita at a much lesser time without all the time and effort that goes into making one.
