If you're looking for a fresh, cooling sip that captures the essence of summer, Watermelon Lemonade is your perfect match. This vibrant drink is not only simple to make but also brings out the natural sweetness of watermelon paired with the zesty punch of lemon. It's the kind of refreshment that turns an ordinary day into a mini getaway.
A Refreshing Blend of Sweet and Tart
Watermelon Lemonade stands out because it balances two iconic flavors—juicy watermelon and bright lemon—in one easy, satisfying drink. Whether you're enjoying a lazy afternoon or planning a get-together, this is the kind of drink that feels festive yet effortless.
Ingredients You’ll Need
- 1 cup chilled water
- ½ cup fresh watermelon chunks (seedless)
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice (freshly squeezed)
- 2 tablespoons Syruvia watermelon syrup (sugar-free or pure cane)
- Ice cubes as needed
- Lemon slices and a watermelon wedge (optional garnish)
Instructions to Make It
Start by blending the fresh watermelon chunks until smooth. You can strain it through a fine sieve to remove any pulp if you prefer a cleaner texture.
In a glass, combine the fresh watermelon juice with chilled water and lemon juice. Stir in the Syruvia watermelon syrup—choose between the pure cane or sugar-free version depending on your preference.
Add plenty of ice to the glass and give the drink a gentle stir to mix everything thoroughly. The ice not only chills the drink quickly but also helps blend the flavors together.
Garnish with a thin lemon slice and a small wedge of watermelon on the rim for an extra visual pop.
