Whole lemons and watermelon are blended together to make the most refreshing summer sipper EVER!
Watermelon Lemonade is just the right amount of sweet and tart!
The dog days dont stand a chance against this summer sipper.

It pairs the hydrating power of watermelon with the perfect pucker of lemon for the ideal refresher.
Its sophisticated enough for brunch but hits the spot after mowing the lawn.
The only other ingredients you need are water and sugar because the melon is doing the heavy lifting here.

Blend, strain, and serve over ice.
Thin skinned lemons have less pith, the white part between the skin and the flesh.
But too much pith can make the lemonade unpleasant.
Alison Bickel
Whether you buy organic or conventional lemons, wash them well before tossing them in the blender.
Some say if the skin is dull then thats another good sign the melon will be sweet.
If youre not buying whole watermelon, judge a fruit by its color: The redder, the better.

you could flick out the black seeds and leave the tender white ones (theyll strain out).
Blend It, Strain It, and Pour It
Run your blender until everything is nicely pureed.
But know that you will end up with pulp that needs to be strained out.

As it sits, it will separate.
Give it a shake or stir before pouring.
Trim the hard stem end, cut the lemons into quarters and remove the seeds.
Alison Bickel
Cut lemon quarters into large chunks.
Combine the prepared lemons, watermelon, sugar, and 1 cup water in the carafe of a blender.
Blend on high until smooth, about 30 seconds.
Alison Bickel
Strain the lemonade over a pitcher using a fine-mesh sieve.
Use a silicone spatula to press the pulp against the strainer and wring out the remaining juice.
You could discard the pulp, if youd like.
Alison Bickel
Add the remaining 1 cup water.
Serve lemonade over ice.
