Watermelon Ice Cubes

The other day, I was flipping through channels and stopped as I saw an idea on Rachael Ray that really caught my eye. She cubed and froze watermelon to make watermelon ice cubes!  Brilliant!


We added seedless watermelon to our grocery list and used the first half to make watermelon mojitos.  We used other half of the watermelon to make the ice cubes.


 The ice cubes were great with the mojitos, but I can see throwing a couple in a glass of lemonade or even water as a little natural flavoring.  It really works.  As the cubes melt in the drink, the watermelon flavor comes out.

The best part is that you can keep these in the freezer all summer long.   Plus, you get to eat the watermelon when you're finished with your drink. 

Make watermelon ice cubes with any left over watermelon you might have! It's  a fun and healthy addition to any summer drink.

If you haven't already, I invite you to like and follow me on Facebook (located in the right side bar).  Happy Friday!

Easier Than I Thought!

  1. Oooh so yummy and easy! I'll have to remember this next time we have watermelon--with only 2 of us, we get sick of it before it's gone, so this would be perfect.

    That Rachael. So smart.
