Ingredients

• 6 cups diced honeydew, cantaloupe or watermelon
• 1/4 cup fresh lime juice, plus more to taste
• 1/2 cup sugar, plus more to taste
• 1 teaspoon fresh thyme leaves, plus sprigs for garnish
• 1/2 cup silver tequila or mezcal (optional)

Instructions

1. Spread melon pieces on a rimmed baking sheet in a single layer. Freeze until just hard, about 1 hour.
2. Transfer melon pieces to a food processor and add lime juice, sugar, thyme, 1/2 cup water and tequila, if desired. Pulse until smooth and slushy, scraping the sides of the bowl occasionally. Add water if you prefer a thinner consistency. Add lime juice and sugar to taste.
3. Divide among serving glasses and garnish with thyme sprigs. Serve immediately with spoons, or let melt slightly to serve as a drink
