Zusatztipps für die Zubereitung
Für ein besonders erfrischendes Erlebnis kühlen Sie die Gläser vor dem Servieren im Gefrierfach. Geben Sie frische Minze direkt mit in den Mixer für eine noch kühlere Note – und probieren Sie nach Wunsch auch eine Variante mit Limettensaft!
Varianten und Anpassungen
Für Erwachsene lässt sich der Slushie mit etwas Wodka oder Gin veredeln. Wer mag, kann stattdessen Limettensaft verwenden für neue Zitrusnoten. Sollten Sie kernhaltige Wassermelone nutzen, beachten Sie, die Kerne zuvor zu entfernen.
