Watermelon Mint Slushy
When it's hot outside, there are few things as cooling as watermelon & mint. Add a splash of NOLET'S Silver and it's a party. This recipe requires a little prep, so that when you're ready to make a batch, all you need to do is blend and serve. Makes approximately 8 cocktails.

Optional Black Sesame Seeds for Garnish
Cut a large watermelon into ice cube-sized chunks (approx. 1 1/2 inches). Place cubes on a parchment or waxed paper-lined tray spaced apart and freeze for 2 hours or just until frozen. If you're not using them for a while, put cubes in an airtight container & store them in the freezer.
