Watermelon lemonade recipe, super simple, great for parties and large gatherings. A very healthy and refreshing drink, made with fresh watermelon and lemon.

Watermelon mint lemonade is an all-time favorite of mine. My son always prefers to sit with a can of soda for the meals. So, It is mom’s job to find ways to distract the children from unhealthy habits.

Getting the children to a healthier track is not that easy in this fast-food world. These are my tiny steps towards healthy habits.

I have used fresh watermelon and lemon for making this drink. Fresh fruit juices taste ultimately refreshing, like this fresh pineapple juice and kiwi milkshake. And store-bought artificially flavored juices can never come close to these.

The watermelon which I bought was sweet enough that it does not require any form of extra sugar. But If you wish you may sugar as per your requirement.

The hint of mint leaf’s flavor makes everyone love this watermelon mint lemonade. I bet your guest would shower you with appreciations.

Watermelon lemonade recipe is quite popular in our family during the summer days. A big watermelon is huge enough to last for a couple of days.

To our surprise watermelon tastes excellent in every recipe that we have made so far. And this watermelon lemonade recipe has a special mention on our list.

This delicious summer watermelon lemonade mint is best for the outdoor summer party. Here in the United States, summer is strong, If you are making this for serving outdoor, I would suggest adding a lot more ice, to make it good to stay for upto 4 hours. Because watermelon loses its refreshing flavor soon in the warm temperature.
