Halloween Frankenstein Honeydew Slush for Kids

By Jim ·

This Halloween Frankenstein Honeydew Slush for Kids turns naturally pale-green melon into a thick frozen drink. The face and paper bolts attach only to the outside of the glass, so nothing crafty touches the slush.

How to make it

How we test recipes

  1. At least 4 hours before serving, cut ripe honeydew into 1-inch cubes, weigh 450 g and freeze the cubes in a single layer until solid.
  2. Cut two clear removable labels to fit the fronts of two 12 oz straight-sided glasses.
  3. Use a black food-safe marker to draw a simple Frankenstein face and hair on each label. Stick one label to the outside of each glass.
  4. Cut four small bolt shapes from clean black paper and tape two to the outside lower sides of each glass; keep all decorations outside the drinks.
  5. Put the frozen honeydew cubes into a high-speed blender.
  6. Measure the coconut water and pour it over the fruit.
  7. Measure and add the lime juice, agave syrup and ice cubes.
  8. Blend on high for 35–45 seconds, stopping once to scrape down the blender if needed, until thick and spoonable with no large ice pieces.
  9. Divide the slush evenly between the two decorated glasses, keeping the drink below the top of each label.
  10. Add a reusable straw to each glass and serve immediately before the slush melts.

Make the slush texture work

Freeze ripe melon completely before blending; partly frozen cubes make a thin drink. If the blender stalls, add coconut water 1 tablespoon at a time. If the slush becomes too loose, blend in a few more frozen honeydew cubes rather than extra ice, which can dilute the melon flavor.

For a different chilled children's drink, try the Crimson Beet Shrub Soda. Adults can make the Midnight Mezcal Black Manhattan. Browse Halloween drinks for kids.

The estimate counts the honeydew, coconut water, lime juice and agave syrup; ice adds no calories. The removable labels, paper bolts and tape stay outside the drink and are not edible. No pulp is strained or discarded. The drink is 0% ABV.
