Ingredients

The following ingredients have 6 Servings
  • 5-6 cups watermelon (cubed)
  • 1/2 lemon (juiced)
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 3 cups ice (divided)
  • 2-4 cans sparkling lime flavored water (or flavor of choice)

Instruction

  • In a blender, add watermelon, lemon juice, sugar, and 2 cups of ice. Blend until roughly combined (ice chunks are ok!). Add the remaining cup of ice and blend until smooth.
  • Pour into a shallow pan (9x13 works great) and put in the freezer. After 30 minutes, take a fork and rake the mixture. Repeat after 1 hour, and again 30 minutes to an hour later. When ready, the mixture will be frozen like a slushy, but not solid. 
  • Scoop into a cup and top with your desired amount of sparking water for a refreshing mocktail! You can also enjoy the granita on its own like a sorbet.
