✨ Why You'll Love It

This Watermelon Lemonade is summer in a glass — naturally sweet, citrusy, and ultra-refreshing. It’s the perfect drink to cool off during hot days and comes together in minutes using fresh ingredients and a blender.

🛒 Ingredients

• 5–6 cups seedless watermelon, cut into 1–2 inch cubes

• 2 cups ice-cold water

• ⅓ cup granulated sugar (adjust to taste)

• ½ cup freshly squeezed lemon juice (about 4 large lemons)

  • Watermelon wedges

  • Lemon or lime slices

🍉 Instructions

1. Blend the Base
   In a high-powered blender, combine watermelon cubes, ice-cold water, and granulated sugar. Blend until smooth and fully liquified. (Tip: Use the smoothie or high-speed setting twice for extra smoothness.)

2. Strain for Smoothness
   Pour the watermelon juice through a fine-mesh strainer into a large pitcher. Use a spoon to press the juice through the strainer, removing the pulp.

3. Add Citrus & Sweetener
   Stir in lemon juice, lime juice, and agave nectar (if using). Mix well until sweeteners are fully dissolved. Taste and adjust sweetness with additional sugar, agave, or honey if desired.

4. Serve and Enjoy
   Pour over ice and garnish with a slice of watermelon, a twist of citrus, or a few sprigs of fresh mint for that extra-refreshing touch.

• Make It Sparkling: Replace 1 cup of water with club soda for a fizzy twist.

• Storage: Best served fresh, but can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 2 days.
