1 cup Watermelon, 1 cup Sprite, 1 cup Lemonade, 1 cup Ice

Pour the slushy drink into your glass and garnish with limes, or spear a couple of the vodka-soaked Sour Patch Watermelon candies. Serve immediately.

Notes

To ensure that the slushies are extra cold, you can chop up the watermelon and freeze the chunks well in advance of this recipe (be sure to remove the seeds, first). While you’re at it, freeze your glasses, too!
Add the candy to vodka before you go to bed so it infuses while you sleep. Alternatively, you can put them together first thing in the morning to enjoy your beverage later that evening.
If you’d like your vodka to be extra sweet, then feel free to double the amount of candy in this recipe.
