Watermelon + Lemonade = Watermelonade. It’s Genius!
A refreshing concoction of fresh watermelon, lemon, sugar and water creates a delicious and juicy pink drink. Here’s the recipe adapted from
Watermelonade
Serves 10
- 1/2 cup sugar
- 4 cups cubed watermelon
- 3 1/2 cups water
- 1/2 cup freshly squeezed lemon juice
- Bring sugar and 1/2 cup water to a boil in a small saucepan, stirring sugar to dissolve. Set aside.
- Put the cubed watermelon in a blender and puree until smooth, about 20 seconds. Strain through a fine mesh sieve. You should have about 2 cups of stained watermelon juice.
- Mix the sugar syrup with 3 cups cold water and the lemon juice. Stir well.
- Fill glasses with ice, add about 3 tablespoons of watermelon juice and then top off with lemonade . Stir gently before serving (with a little vodka, if you’d like!)
