WATERMELON-STRAWBERRY SLUSH

Watermelon-Strawberry Slush image

Perhaps watermelon fans already know that a chilled wedge is not the only way to enjoy it. What about drinking it instead? Here, watermelon and strawberries are blended with a little sugar, lemon juice and a healthy glug of rum or vodka. Leave the spirits out if you're serving teetotalers or children. Paper umbrella optional.
