I spent many years working at Friendly’s as a waitress. From when I was 17 off and on until I got married at 21. By the time I quit right before my wedding and college graduation I knew what my menu favorites were. My favorite beverage was the Frozen Watermelon Slammer. It is made with watermelon sherbet and sprite. I’ve been craving one the past few years and I’m thrilled to now have a low carb and sugar free alternative.

My mom hates anything watermelon flavored (she does love real watermelon) but I love it. I also love anything cotton candy flavored and my favorite Italian Ice as a kid was banana. I remember getting it from the Italian Ice truck during summer camp. It was bright yellow and tasted like the bananas in Runts candy. I might be the only one in the world with that as their favorite.

When I found out that Lorann flavoring oils came in watermelon it made my day. (They do also come in cotton candy, banana, and a hundred other flavors). I can buy these at a local candy making store but they are also sold on Amazon. There are a few sellers that let you pick 12 different flavors for $15. I use the cinnamon oil in my Red Hot Gummies and the orange oil in my Creamsicle Gummies.

This has 1 gram of carbs with half and half and 0 grams of carbs with heavy cream.

I have not tried making this into an adult beverage yet but you better believe that I will. I think a couple ounces of vodka would go very well with the watermelon flavor.
