I’ve only gotten my feet wet in canning, so this event is the perfect chance for me to watch, learn, and get inspired. You can come back to this post on Saturday and watch the event live from 11am-4pm EST. (The video will be visible at the bottom of this post during the live demonstrations.)
Even if you aren’t into canning, Ball brand has so many cool products and fun ways to use their jars. Check out these awesome lids and straws they sent me. Aren’t they cute? (Make sure to scroll to the bottom of this post for your chance to win some of these cool products!) The lids are made to fit on top of your Ball brand mason jars so you can drink your favorite beverages straight from the jar.
As for what kind of beverage, I highly suggest this Boozy Watermelon Slushy. Of course, you can leave the booze out and let the kids have some, but sometimes you just need an adult beverage, no?
This one has a few simple ingredients and is perfect for summer. If you don’t have or want to use coconut water, you can use a juice instead. I think orange juice or pineapple juice would be tasty. But my recommendation is coconut water, both for the taste and the health benefits. Coconut water is so hydrating, it has to counteract the dehydrating effects of the booze, right?
Boozy Watermelon Slushy and Can-It-Forward Day Giveaway
- Total Time: 5 minutes (not including freezing time)

Description
A refreshing and boozy slush that’s perfect for summer!
Ingredients
6 cups watermelon cubes, frozen
2 tablespoons fresh lime juice
2/3 cup light rum
1 cup coconut water
2 tablespoons agave nectar, or to taste
Instructions
To freeze your watermelon, place the cubes on a rimmed baking sheet lined with parchment paper or a silicone liner and place in the freezer until frozen. **If you want to make these with fresh watermelon, omit the coconut water and add a cup of ice.**
Place all ingredients in a blender and blend until smooth. Enjoy!

Well said!
Great recipe, great giveaway!
Great giveaway, I have some canning I need to do!
Thanks for the giveaway, I like the purple jars
I love all the colors they come in!
Those tops are so cute!
Ohhh perfect recipe for me! I have some watermelon in my fridge.
This is wonderful! I would love to start canning some tasty jams and jellies for my family.
I’ve dabbled in canning, but never got very far because I had problems with getting a good seal. But I still use my jars to store all kinds of pantry staples!
Missed the demonstration. Hope they have it again as I like to can and learn more about it.
This sounds so refreshing!
I’ve never froze watermelon before but this looks so good!
perfect for these hot summer days!
These straws and jars would be perfect for our family’s green smoothies!
I love to can and my favorite color is purple so I would really like to win!
