HOW TO MAKE THIS WATERMELON FIZZ IN LESSER TIME OR INSTANTLY?

Here after blending the watermelon and the other ingredients, I have refrigerated the mixture for few minutes to serve it chilled. To avoid that refrigerating part and save time, you can use freezed watermelon. Freezing them ahead of time is really a great idea and very helpful during summer days, to make any refreshing drink for sudden carvings and even to serve refreshing drinks for sudden guest coming in.

Cut the watermelon into cubes and store it in a ziploc pouch or freezer safe container. When you want to serve this watermelon fizz just take them out of the freezer and blend them along with the other ingredients. Serve them with ice cubes.
