Watermelon Lemonade | The #1 Perfect Cool Down Drink

Watermelon Lemonade

Best tip is to give the watermelon a taste first. If you find the watermelon to be very sweet, reduce the amount of sugar.

Watermelon Lemonade is a perfect beverage to pair with very spicy food like Indian and Mexican food. When you are eating an authentic curry or a spicy mole, serve this version of Watermelon Lemonade and enjoy!

Ingredients

  • 4 cups* cubed ripe seedless watermelon (about 1/2 8-pound watermelon)
  • ¾ cup fresh squeezed lemon juice (3 to 4 large lemons)
  • ¼ cup granulated sugar
  • 2 cups ice
  • Ice and fresh mint, for garnish (optional)

Instructions

  • Scoop watermelon into a blender or food processor. This one works great!
  • Process until liquid.
  • Strain watermelon through a mesh strainer, reserving 4 cups of watermelon juice and discarding the watermelon flesh.
  • Pour the watermelon juice into a pitcher. Set aside.
  • Juice the lemons to equal 1 cup (use more if you prefer it really tart. I used 4 large lemons and got 1 cup of lemon juice)

  • Add in water.
  • Stir in sugar to sweeten to desired taste.
  • Serve immediately over ice and garnish with fresh mint leaves and lemon slices.
