Nothing says summer like watermelon and lemonade. Combine the two with some simple syrup and lemon juice for refreshing watermelon lemonade.
Jump to RecipeSummer is for watermelon and lemonade and all things that cool us off. So why not mix the two together? After making strawberry lemonade, we wanted to try other flavors.
This watermelon is very sweet. If you don’t like a very sweet drink, you may want to lower the amount of simple syrup. The boys and I enjoyed it like this, but we could only have small amounts at a time. Watermelon lemonade is perfect for a hot summer day to keep yourself hydrated.
If you want to turn this into an adult drink, you can add some rum.

This looks absolutely refreshing! It’s the perfect drink for the summer months.
This looks very refreshing!!! Where do you get watermelon juice?
I put chunks of watermelon in the blender and pureed that. Then strained it so I didn’t have seeds or pieces of watermelon in there.
I do love the sound of this combination. I bet it tastes great. It would make a lovely drink for summer.
Hi! I”m not familiar with “simple syrup.” What brand or label do you use for this? Perhaps that will help me find my way to it at the supermarket.
Hi, you can either make your own at home by boiling water and sugar together (https://www.thekitchn.com/how-to-make-simple-syrup-240337) or you can purchase it. Here’s an Amazon link to give you an idea: https://amzn.to/3Mgs5Ox
