It's time to take watermelon sorbet to the next level!
This boozy watermelon sorbet is an adults-only recipe that everyone will love. The addition of a little extra flavor takes this sorbet from good to great.
First, I have to admit, I'm not the biggest fan of fresh watermelon.
However, I somehow love all things watermelon-flavored. So I guess I just like the artificial watermelon flavor and not the real food?
With winter weather approaching, I thought it would be nice to enjoy something fruity and sweet from the Ninja Creami. That's where the idea for this boozy watermelon sorbet came from.
The best part about this Ninja Creami sorbet recipe is how easy it is to make. Once you have fresh watermelon cut up and ready to go, you just blend the ingredients together and freeze!
Something to note about Creami recipes with alcohol is that they may not freeze as hard as their booze-free counterparts.
The sorbet still comes out with a perfect texture, and it actually makes eating it after a re-freeze very easy!
This fresh and fruity sorbet shines with pure watermelon flavor! Even better, it's a delicious and refreshing boozy watermelon sorbet that can be enjoyed any time of year.
So if you're looking for a fruity new sorbet recipe, grab a watermelon, a Ninja Creami pint, and get spinning!
While the Ninja Creami is a machine with only 7 (or 11) buttons, it can still be intimidating! Here are a few tips and tricks Alex and I have picked up since beginning our ice cream journey with the Ninja Creami!

This boozy watermelon sorbet uses fresh fruit and a bit of extra fun give this sorbet a fruity and refreshing flavor!
To make this recipe in the Ninja Creami Deluxe, multiply all ingredients by 1.5
Note: 1 serving = 1 pint
Cut fresh watermelon into cubes (removing seeds if preferred).
Puree the watermelon and sugar together until smooth.
Pour the pureed watermelon (approximately 2 cups) into the Ninja Creami pint, ensuring the liquid does not go over the max fill line.
Freeze the pint for 24 hours, making sure it is placed on a flat surface in the freezer.
After 24 hours, remove the pint from the freezer, and plug in your Ninja Creami machine! Time for the magic.
Remove the lid from the pint and grab the Ninja Creami outer bowl. Place the pint securely into the outer bowl and cover with the lid. Once the lid is on, place the outer bowl into the machine, twisting to the right until it locks into place. Press the "Sorbet" button and (try to) wait patiently for the creamy treat coming your way.
Once the process is finished, press and hold the button on the left side of the Creami to twist the bowl to the left and remove it from the machine. Twist the lid off of the outer bowl and remove the pint.
If the sorbet is crumbly, add a dash of milk (any type will work) into the pint and press the "Re-Spin" button.
Repeat until sorbet is the desired texture.
Now your boozy watermelon sorbet is ready to enjoy!
If you don't like following recipes, don't worry - you can customize it however you want! We personally use oat milk and coconut cream to avoid most of the dairy, and it's some of the best ice cream we've ever had.
