Ingredients

600 g watermelon (without rind, in cubes)

How to make a Watermelon Aperol Spritz Slush?

Cut the watermelon into cubes and remove any seeds. Spread the cubes out on a baking sheet and place them in the freezer for at least 2 hours until thoroughly frozen.
Put the frozen watermelon cubes in a blender and add the Aperol, the lemon juice and the simple syrup. Blend at high speed until you have a smooth slush.
Taste the mixture and, if needed, add a little extra simple syrup or lemon juice to your liking.
Divide the slush mixture among the glasses. Fill each glass about two thirds full and leave room for the prosecco.
Carefully pour cold prosecco over the slush. Do this slowly so the bubbles remain intact.
Garnish each glass with a slice of watermelon or a sprig of fresh mint. Serve immediately and enjoy.

A good glass really makes a difference with a summer cocktail. Choose glasses with some weight and a nice profile: they feel more festive, even if you're just sitting in the garden. Glasses with cut details make the pink-orange color palette of this slush stand out even more. That's not a luxury, that's just smart choosing.

Want to vary? Replace the watermelon with frozen strawberries or mango for a different flavor. To make the slush alcohol-free, simply use lemonade or sparkling water instead of prosecco. Just as refreshing, suitable for everyone at the table.
