This was just ok. I'm all about fruity drinks, but this wasn't for me. I didn't like the consistency of it, and the strong flavors I was expecting just didn't come through. I made this for a barbecue, and only one of my girlfriends enjoyed it.

The flavor was okay, but the texture was terrible. It wasn't very slushy, despite freezing the watermelon for 30 minutes.
