Beat The Heat

Watermelon Lemonade 

                         

Duration: 20 min

Ingredients

  • 1/4 cup lemon juice (fresh-squeezed)
  • 1/2 cup watermelon (fresh, puree, strained through a coarse strainer to remove seeds)
  • 3 tbsps simple syrup
  • 3/4 cup cold water
  • Preparation

  • Makes enough to fill two glasses with ice cubes; we quadrupled it to fill a pitcher. We already need more.
    1/4 cup (2 ounces) fresh-squeezed lemon juice
    1/2 cup (4 ounces) fresh watermelon puree, strained through a coarse strainer to remove seeds
    3 tablespoons (1 1/2 ounces) simple syrup*
    3/4 cup (6 ounces) cold water
    Stir it all together and serve over ice. Garnish it with a thin watermelon or lemon wedge, if you’re feeling fancy. I have never met a beverage I didn’t think would taste better bubbly, thus, if you’re looking for a spritzier version of this, swap one-third (1/4 cup) or more of the water with seltzer or sparkling water.
