Watermelon Mint Lemonade

This Watermelon Mint Lemonade is the ultimate refreshing drink for hot summer
days! Bursting with juicy watermelon, zesty lemon, and fresh mint, this
naturally sweet beverage is incredibly hydrating and flavorful. Customize the
sweetness with an optional mint-infused simple syrup, and for a fun twist,
freeze some into ice cubes to prevent dilution. Perfect for kids and adults—just
add citrus vodka for a grown-up version!

Instructions

1 Step 1: Prepare the Mint Simple Syrup (Optional)

In a small saucepan, combine sugar, water, and crushed mint leaves over medium
heat.

Stir continuously until the sugar dissolves completely (about 2-3 minutes).

Reduce the heat to low and let it simmer for 5 minutes to infuse the mint
flavor.

Remove from heat, strain to remove mint leaves, and let it cool.
2 Step 2: Blend the Lemonade

In a blender, combine the watermelon chunks, fresh lemon juice, and cold water.
Blend until completely smooth.

Strain the mixture through a fine mesh sieve to remove any pulp or large
particles.

Taste the lemonade and, if desired, sweeten with the mint-infused simple syrup
to your preference.
3 Step 3: Infuse with Fresh Mint

Lightly bruise the fresh mint leaves with your fingers to release their
essential oils.

Add the bruised mint leaves to a large pitcher or glass jar and pour in the
watermelon lemonade mixture. Stir well to infuse the flavors.
4 Step 4: Serve & Garnish

Fill glasses with ice cubes (or frozen watermelon lemonade cubes).

Pour the lemonade over the ice and garnish each glass with a fresh mint sprig
and a slice of lemon.

Serve immediately and enjoy this refreshing summer drink!
