Savvy Entertaining: Vodka Watermelon Slush & Easy Fruit Dessert

With so many summer parties and so little time, a gal needs to work smarter and find savvy shortcuts to make life simple. As I am trying to live healthier, instead of sweet desserts, I am opting to serve fruits at the end of a meal. To glam up my favorite watermelon, I used a melon baller to scoop out bite size watermelon balls and served in a crystal coupe. Add a sprig of mint or basil to add color and contrast.

I also made iced fruit slush for adults. It is easy but does require some patient.

Ingredients: (4 servings)
4 cups of watermelon --- I used leftover watermelon after I scooped out watermelon balls for dessert.  Do not discard watermelon juice. Add to blender with fruit and sugar.
1/2 cup of sugar
2 shots of vodka (add more if you like but I am a light weight)

1. Blend watermelon and sugar together in a blender or food processor until smooth
2. Add vodka to mixture
3. Place in a container and place in freezer
4. Use a fork to break up ice crystals to make slush, about every 30 minutes
5. Served in chilled coupe or bowl

This is very easy and delete alcohol for a kiddie party. I love to try this with mango and other types of berries. Do you like fruit slush?
