Ingredients
| 350 ml | bourbon |
| 480 ml | fresh watermelon juice, strained |
| 120 ml | fresh lime juice |
| 180 ml | simple syrup |
| 120 ml | cold filtered water |
| — | fresh mint leaf, for garnish |
Instructions
- Combine: In a large pitcher, whisk the bourbon, watermelon juice, lime juice, simple syrup and water until perfectly uniform.
- Pre-chill: Refrigerate at least 2 hours until the liquid reaches 4°C (40°F) for snowy micro-crystals rather than large ice chunks.
- Pour: With the dispenser handle closed, pour the chilled mixture into the reservoir, at least half an inch below the Max Fill line.
- Set: Turn the machine on and select the Spiked Slush setting, required to freeze the high-proof bourbon.
- Freeze: Run for about 20 minutes until a light, snowy frost forms.
- Serve: Pull down the lever to dispense and garnish each glass with a fresh mint leaf.
Pro-tip: If the slush separates in the glass, add 1 tablespoon of agave nectar to the next batch as a natural stabiliser. Approx. 11% ABV.
