Cool and refreshing watermelon lemonade. This recipe is the perfect mix of sweet and tangy, full of watermelon flavor!
Watermelon + lemons = the perfect summer combo. There’s just something special about a refreshing glass of watermelon lemonade on a hot summer day. This recipe is easy and only calls for four ingredients.
TIPS:
- Heat a small amount of water with the sugar to melt it ahead of time. This ensure the sugar will dissolve completely when combined with the remaining ingredients.
- Make sure to use a seedless watermelon. I would hate for you to have to pick through the melon ahead of time to remove all the seeds.
- Once the watermelon has been blended, strain it through a sieve to remove the remaining pulp. Or don’t, but I like mine smooth.
- The watermelon lemonade will separate if it sits for a while, just give it a quick stir and its back to normal.
- For an adult beverage, add your favorite alcohol. I suggest, tequila or vodka.
- If you’re feeling fancy, serve with a slice of lemon, watermelon, or sprig of mint.
