Ingredients

  • 400g orange melon flesh (approx. 1 melon), cut into large chunks
  • 160ml gin or vodka
  • 1 lime, zested and juiced, plus a wedge
  • 60ml elderflower cordial
  • 2 tbsp demerara sugar

Method

  • Step 1

    Freeze the melon chunks for at least 2 hrs. Pop in 4 freezer-safe margarita glasses at the same time to get nice and cold.

  • Step 2

    In a high-speed blender or food processor, blitz the frozen melon until smooth. Add 8 ice cubes, the gin, lime juice and cordial, then blitz again until smooth.

  • Step 3

    Working fast, mix the sugar, lime zest and a generous pinch of sea salt flakes in a shallow dish. Run a lime wedge around the outer edge of each glass rim. One at a time, turn the glasses upside down, dip the rim into the sugar-lime mix and twist to coat – the sugar will stick. Divide the slushie between glasses and serve immediately.
