1
Combine the base
Add the watermelon purée, lemon juice, simple syrup, and water to a large pitcher or mixing container.
2
Mix thoroughly
Stir until the syrup is fully blended and the lemonade base tastes evenly fruity and tart.
3
Chill and churn
Pour the mixture into the slush machine and run until it reaches a smooth, icy, pourable texture.
4
Serve cold
Dispense into glasses and serve right away, keeping the remaining batch moving in the machine for the best consistency.

Chill the watermelon purée, lemon juice, syrup, and water before adding them to the machine for a faster, smoother texture.
Stir the watermelon purée well before measuring, since fresh fruit pulp can settle as it stands.
For the cleanest texture, strain the watermelon purée if it has seeds or heavy pulp.
Serve promptly once it reaches an icy pourable consistency, or keep the machine running so the batch stays evenly textured.
