This Watermelon Lemonade is the best drink when it's hot outside! It's so refreshing, flavorful and everyone loves it.

You can make it for a play date with your kiddos, make it with some sparkling wine for ladies night or for your next bbq or potluck.

This lemonade is made completely from scratch, but you could use just pureed watermelon and store bought lemonade instead to make it quicker for larger batches. We love using Simply Lemonade.

Add some fresh herbs to each glass for an extra pop of flavor!

I usually use watermelon in sweet recipes, but this Watermelon Salad without Feta is a great way to try watermelon in a delicious, savory way!
