Watermelon Ice

Jazz up your summer drink with ice cubes made of watermelon with this Watermelon Ice. It turns your beverage into a fun summertime treat!

Love a good fancy drink that the whole family can enjoy? Try this Mint and Basil Lemonade or this Fruit Freeze for another frozen fruit drink.

Today, I bring you what is perhaps the easiest recipe on my site.  And the recipe that is the most perfect for summer.  May I introduce you to:

Watermelon Ice

This is one of those things that I seriously said “duh” out loud to when I saw it.  I was catching up on my dvr’d episodes of the Rachael Ray Show, and saw her make these, and knew immediately that I needed to try this one out.

I am usually really good about drinking water, but something with this pregnancy – it has been a struggle for me.  I’ve tried sweetening it with drink sweeteners (like Crystal Light) but then it is too sweet.  I thought this would be the perfect way to perk up my water without adding lots of calories. And it was! It added just a hint of sweetness, and I got to eat the watermelon when I was done with my water!

Ingredients

The only thing you really need is watermelon. So simple!

But if you want suggestions on what drinks to serve these with, I tried them with both seltzer water and regular water. And I actually preferred the regular water.  (But that’s probably because I normally prefer regular water.) 

But I also think they would be great in a lemon-lime soda or even lemonade.  I can see this being the perfect “ice” for summer entertaining!!

How to Make Watermelon Ice

Now, I’ve seen lots of fruit infused ice – with cucumber, fruit, or even herbs.  But it seriously doesn’t get any easier than this.  No ice cube trays to fill up, no pureeing anything.  Just chop and freeze!!
