Ingredients
- 1 mini watermelon
- 2-3 tbsp fresh lime juice
- 1-2 tbsp honey
- Pinch of sea salt
- 1 shot vodka, tequila blanco, or white rum (optional)
Instructions
Prep the Watermelon
- Slice the mini watermelon in half lengthwise. Scoop out the inside, reserving the watermelon shells for serving later.
- Cut the watermelon flesh into cubes and place onto a parchment-lined tray or freezer-safe container.
- Freeze until completely solid, at least 4 to 5 hours or overnight.
Blend the Sorbet
- Add the frozen watermelon cubes to a high-powered blender or food processor along with lime juice, honey, and a pinch of flaky sea salt.
- Blend until smooth, thick, and creamy. Scrape down the sides as needed while blending.
- If making it boozy, add a shot of vodka, tequila, or rum before blending.
Serve
- Scoop the sorbet back into the hollowed-out watermelon halves and serve immediately for a soft sorbet texture.
- For firmer scoops, transfer to the freezer for 1 to 2 additional hours before serving.
