Watermelon White Negroni Slushie Recipe - 华体会体育推荐

Skip sugary frozen fruit drinks this summer, and try this chilly spin on the classic Negroni cocktail. It starts as a White Negroni, a popular variation that calls for Cocchi Americano instead of Campari and dry vermouth instead of sweet. This version is softened with watermelon, added to the gin as an infusion.

Why this recipe works:

Chilling the mixture in the freezer ahead of time helps keep dilution to a minimum for a less watery slushie. Due to the alcohol content, it won't freeze solid.
Infusing the watermelon and straining it out allows you to add fruit flavor and sweetness without extra water or any fiber from the fruit.

Note:For a thicker slushie, add an additional 1/2 cup ice to each batch.
