    \n
  1. The Fastest Watermelon Granita\/Sorbet (No Ice Cream Maker Required)
    This is the absolute favorite online:<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n

    Here’s how: Simply grate the frozen watermelon piece directly into a glass or bowl using a fine kitchen grater or nutmeg grater.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    The result: You get fine, flaky watermelon ice cream in no time! A squeeze of lime juice, a pinch of salt, or a splash of condensed milk\u2014and your refreshing drink is ready.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      \n
    1. Quick Smoothie Without Diluting Ice Cubes
      Regular ice cubes dilute smoothies when they melt.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n

      Here’s how: Simply toss frozen watermelon cubes into a blender with some mint, lime, and perhaps a splash of coconut water.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      The result: An incredibly creamy, ice-cold summer drink with 100% fruit flavor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

        \n
      1. “Popsicles”\u2014All Natural<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n

        Here’s how: Cut the watermelon into triangles, make a small slit in the rind, and insert a wooden stick. Then pop it in the freezer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

        The result: The healthiest snack for hot days\u2014perfect for kids and adults, with absolutely no added sugar.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

          \n
        1. Fruity Cooling for Summer Cocktails<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n

          Here’s how: Use frozen watermelon cubes instead of regular ice cubes in your drink (e.g., in a gin and tonic, Aperol Spritz, sangria, or simply in sparkling water).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

          The result: You chill the drink and gradually release a delicate fruity aroma.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

            \n
          1. Frozen Watermelon Margarita
            Here’s how: Blend frozen watermelon with tequila, Cointreau\/Triple Sec, and fresh lime juice.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n

            The result: A perfectly slushy, ice-cold cocktail for after work.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

            Tip: Before freezing, it’s best to remove the seeds and cut the watermelon into handy pieces or cubes. If you’re freezing a whole large piece, let it thaw for about 5 minutes before grating or blending.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

            Do you have a specific preparation method in mind, or are you looking for a particular recipe for your next summer day?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
