No doubt about it, this is like getting a drink and dessert all in one glass. While the ice pop “garnish” is optional, it sure it fun. And, on a hot, sunny day, a welcomed treat. I was able to find watermelon ice pops at my grocery store. If you can’t find them, I don’t think anyone will complain if they are raspberry or cherry 
This is easy to make and quite delicious. A couple of notes: the wine won’t freeze rock hard since there is alcohol in it but combines well with the frozen watermelon and liquid wine you add. Blend until you get a nice slushy consistency (Hence, the name!)
When it comes to the sugar, the amount used can vary greatly from person to person depending on how sweet you like your drinks and how sweet your watermelon is. So, as usual, taste and adjust as needed.
