Frozen drinks are one of the best parts of summer. And this colorful watermelon slushie is sure to become one of your favorites - with or without the shot of vodka.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Chop up some fresh watermelon (removing the seeds if necessary) and pop it in the freezer for at least 4 hours before making these. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

When you are ready to enjoy: pop the watermelon in a blender with lime juice and a secret ingredient<\/strong> to add some bright color and extra tang.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Secret Ingredient: Hibiscus Tea<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Hibiscus tea adds a deep cranberry hue to the drink naturally along with a nice floral tartness.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You can get hibiscus flowers (often labeled Jamaica) at well stocked grocery stores with the other Mexican spices. Steep about \u00bc cup flowers in 1 quart boiling water about 5 minutes. Remove flowers and chill for this recipe (or enjoy hot)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Or you can use hibiscus blend teas such as: Teavana Hibiscus Spice<\/a>, Tazo Passion Tea<\/a> or Celestial Seasonings Red Zinger<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Alcohol Free Watermelon Slushies<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

It is very complicated to make these without alcohol. Read that with a heavy<\/strong> dose of sarcasm and insert an eye roll or two.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you want to make family friendly watermelon slushies just leave out the vodka. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

That's all there is too it. No need to overthink it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
