Directions

Method written by CompKitchen from the ingredient list. Not the original author's method, not kitchen-tested.

  1. Put the cubed watermelon, ice, superfine sugar and peach juice into a blender.

  2. Blend on high for about 1 minute, scraping down the sides once, until smooth and slushy.

  3. Add the club soda and pulse 2 or 3 times just to combine without losing the fizz.

  4. Pour into glasses and garnish each drink with peach slices. Serve right away.
