Instructions
Instructions
- Blend the watermelon: Add chilled watermelon cubes to a blender and blend until smooth. Strain through a fine-mesh sieve for a smoother lemonade if desired.
- Mix the lemonade: In a large pitcher, combine watermelon juice, fresh lemon juice, cold water, sugar, and mint leaves. Stir well until the sugar dissolves. Let the mixture chill for at least 15 minutes to infuse the mint flavor.
- Serve and enjoy: Fill glasses with ice, pour in the watermelon mint lemonade, and garnish with watermelon slices, lemon, and fresh mint.
Notes
For the closest restaurant-style flavor, use very ripe seedless watermelon and freshly squeezed lemons. Freeze watermelon cubes ahead of time to use instead of ice for a stronger watermelon taste. Add sparkling water for a bubbly summer twist.
