Shopping list:

• fresh seedless watermelon
• water
• freshly squeezed lemon juice
• granulated sugar
• fresh watermelon and lemon slices for garnish

This Watermelon Lemonade is the ultimate refreshing drink for hot days! Bursting with flavor, it’s a crowd pleaser that everyone will love.  

Make it for a playdate with the kids, add sparkling wine for a fun ladies' night, or serve it at your next BBQ or potluck. It’s made completely from scratch, but for a quicker option, you can blend fresh watermelon with store bought lemonade, Simply Lemonade works great for this!  

For an extra pop of flavor, garnish each glass with fresh herbs like mint or basil. You can also freeze watermelon chunks and use them as ice cubes to keep your drink cold without watering it down. This lemonade is also super good with a splash of lemon lime soda or club soda to make it "bubbly."

This recipe is best served immediately, but can be refrigerated for up to 24 hours. However you serve it, this lemonade is a must try for summer!
