Strawberry Watermelon Slushie Spritzer
Strawberry watermelon slushie is an easy and refreshing summer spritzer, with a cocktail option.
Juicy strawberries and watermelon, with a touch of lime and a spritz of sparkling water, blended into an icy refreshing drink. It’s slushy, it’s spritzy, it’s refreshing and it is summer in a glass.
It’s a great tasting drink that is non-alcoholic. Great for those of us who happen to not be drinking alcohol for one reason or another.
Recently I went to a graduation open house with my husband and daughter, and it was a hot, beautiful day. I watched as he drank an ice-cold beer and I drank a bottle of water. Ho-hum! Parties should be required to serve fun drinks for pregnant ladies (and non-drinkers), don’t you think?
This strawberry watermelon spritzer won’t leave you longing for an ice-cold beer or a vodka lemonade. It has plenty of refreshing flavor!
PS If you want, add a shot of vodka to your spritzer to make a cocktail. Totally up to you! Or try frosé, a frozen rosé slushie or a frozen Sangria slushie.
Make it your own
There are lots of ways to vary this drink.
- Make a double or triple batch. Why not, you already have the blender out?
- Add ice when blending for a slushier drink.
- Use frozen blueberries, peaches, mango or another fruit of your choice instead of the strawberries. Substitute a different fruit for the watermelon.
- Add a flavored sparkling water drink, like LaCroix or Bubly. There are lots of options that are really popular right now.
- Instead of lime juice, add a squirt of lemon juice.
- Like it sweeter? Add simple syrup, agave, or sugar. Or use 7-up or a different lemon-lime soda instead of the sparkling water.
Cool off with more summer drinks!

This is such a lovely idea! There is always lots of watermelons and strawberries at my house during summer, so I will definitely be trying this out! Thanks for the wonderful recipe :)
I know one thing – I’d call it plain good! Yum!
Whenever I’m reaching for watermelon or strawberry chewy candies (my favorite things ever) I’m gonna make one of these instead. Much healthier & still has the same awesome flavors! YUMM!!!
Good plan! But I love candy too…. ;)
Yep, Summer in a glass! YUM! BRAVO!
Ooh… I love this! I’ve done my share of drinking water at get togethers while my hubby and friends are drinking beer, wine, and cocktails. I will have to make myself a fun drink now :)
This is so pretty, and I feel refreshed just staring at it!! Perfect non- bOozed up beverage for all my friends expecting lil babies soon but still deserve a fun sipper.
Love this! It looks beyond refreshing, and the colored straws are adorable – a food styling “must”!
I’m not much of an alcoholic drinker so this drink is just perfect for me!
This looks so refreshing! I love the pretty pink color too, it’s perfect for summer :)
My watermelon loving daughters would adore this drink! I think I’ll make it for the birthday party in July.
This is so pretty and summery! I love the colors and flavors. Beautiful presentation.
This is fantastic. I am all for a boozy frozen slushy drink – but some days I just want the spritzy fruity slushy in a tall glass. Fabulouso m’dear!
Summer in a glass sounds absolutely perfect to me :) I love the slushy texture and all the fruit!
This sounds great Rachel. It’s such a shame there weren’t other drink options. I hate how it’s one extreme or the other at parties.
I live for slushes! I was addicted to 7-11 ones for a while there
Love it, so refreshing! I always have some non-alcoholic good stuff at parties. I’m not much on alcohol plus the kids need special drinks too. This one looks perfect.
YUM! Where was this yummy idea last summer when I was pregnant watching everyone sip sangria and margs (my weakness) at our parties…
Watermelon is SO summer, and I am so happy it’s all over the blogs right now. This seems like a lovely, refreshing drink!
This is next on my bevvy list to try! Beautiful shots too!
This is sooo pretty! I love it!
I don’t care what you call it, if it has slushie in the name, I am IN!
This looks like a PERFECT summer drink! It’s so pretty!
I don’t know what you cool it but I want one! And I want the weather to enjoy one…
LOVE IT!! The photos, the recipe, those straws (where did you find them?)
And “it’s going to turn out great even if the measurements aren’t exact.” <– so true :)
I’ve gotten the straws in two different places, Amazon and Sweet Estelle’s baking supply on Etsy. Prepare yourself to spend lots of money before clicking that link!!
Girl I’ve seen them on there. I know, a clickfest$$ :)
I was hoping it wasn’t mail order b/c I want some…now!
Yum! This looks so refreshing!
Ooooh – this looks so fresh and delicious! And love that it’s sparkling – fun!!
This is my kind of drink – love it!!
Rachel, this look HEAVENLY. I think I’m going to surprise my kids with it later today!
… and this will be served at the baby shower I’m planning. Thanks!! :-)
Anything with watermelon is good in my book. I’ll try this out, thanks!
This sounds like an absolutely perfect drink for a woman on a hot day, pregnant or otherwise. :) It’s lovely to look at!
I made something similar, and it was amazing. Mine didn’t have strawberries though, love that idea!
i’m going to be dreaming of this all day now – it sounds amazing!
What I love about serving a drink like this is that it’s perfect as is but a splash of vodka would also make it a cocktail. Makes everyone happy!
What a beautiful drink. I’ll have to make this for my sister who is preggo too and totally feels your pain on being left out of the “fun beverage” department.
Perfect! Fun fruity drinks around here always have to be non-acoholic…little curious boys are pretty good at stealthy drink sipping.
Love how refreshing this looks!
oooooh, so want this!
This looks super fun! I love these flavours together :)
