Ingredients needed for a watermelon vodka slush

Watermelon - A big juicy summer fruit makes for the perfect base to this slushie cocktail. Make sure your watermelon is SEEDLESS. You don’t want pieces of seed in your slush.

Ice - Ice gets blended first to give it a shaved consistency.

Simple Syrup - To sweeten our cocktail. If you want to give your Watermelon Vodka Slush a twist, use a flavored simple syrup. You can find my recipe for blueberry simple syrup here.

Watermelon Vodka - I used Smirnoff. Watermelon flavored vodka will help concentrate the flavor of your slush. I’m typically not a flavored vodka fan, but in this cocktail it works well.

OPTIONAL Melon Liqueur - I used DeKuyper Pucker Schnapps. If you want to add another flavor component to your Watermelon Vodka slush, I highly recommend melon liqueur. It adds a more refreshing, yet simple taste.

To make a Watermelon Vodka Slush, you will need a blender, cutting board, knife, jigger or shot glass and cocktail glasses.
