- Diet: Vegetarian, Vegan, Gluten-Free
Ingredients
Scale
- 6 cups seedless watermelon, cubed and chilled
- 1 cup fresh lemon juice (about 4–6 lemons)
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar (adjust to taste)
- 2 cups cold water
- Fresh mint leaves for garnish
- Ice cubes for serving
- Lemon slices for garnish
Instructions
- Place the chilled watermelon cubes into a high-speed blender. Pulse and blend on high until the fruit is completely liquefied and smooth.
- Position a fine-mesh strainer over a large pitcher. Pour the watermelon puree through the strainer to remove any remaining pulp or fibers. Use a spoon to press the solids to extract as much juice as possible.
- In a separate small bowl or measuring cup, whisk together the fresh lemon juice and the sugar until the sugar has completely dissolved. This ensures your lemonade isn’t grainy.
- Pour the lemon-sugar mixture into the pitcher with the watermelon juice. Add the 2 cups of cold water and stir well to combine all the flavors.
- Taste the lemonade and add more sugar or water if needed. Fill glasses with ice, pour the watermelon lemonade over the top, and garnish with fresh mint and lemon slices.
