Watermelon Lemonade

Recipe inspired from: Frosted Bake Shop
Post by: Christian, Audra’s daughter

Now that it is summer, and I am free from homework, I am going to share with you recipes I love and try. I get a lot of inspiration from Pinterest especially my board,
things to cook
I recently pinned a recipe similar to this one and I was very inspired to make this wonderful drink. Today I am sharing a recipe for Watermelon Lemonade. This drink is absolutely tasty, it has the zing of the lemon and the sweetness of the watermelon that come together in a marriage of refreshing flavor. Need I say more, now on to the recipe.

Watermelon Lemonade

Ingredients:

1 cup of freshly squeezed lemon juice ( 6 to 8 large lemons)

3/4 to 1 cup sugar (depends on how sweet the watermelon is)

6  cups of water

7 cups of cubed or balled watermelon

Directions:

Place ingredients in the blender and blend until the drink is perfectly mixed together. Serve and enjoy the cool, refreshing taste of Watermelon Lemonade.

Tips: 

I recommend freezing the cubed watermelon for at least an hour just to make the drink cold and give it a little bit of a slushy texture.

It is impossible to fit all the ingredients at once in a blender, so I halved the recipe and blended the halves one at a time. I served this in a gallon sized pitcher.
This recipe serves 8-10 people.

Enjoy this drink at your next outdoor gathering!

  1. Oooh looks delish and refreshing! I would love to make this recipe and try it with maple syrup or stevia instead of sugar - just because I'm trying to cut sugar totally out of my diet...ouch! P.S I haven't done the meatballs yet, I had planned to over the weekend, but there was too much going on. When I DO finally make them, or a variation, I'll be sure to let you know :) Have a splendid week ahead xo
