Watermelonade

This delicious watermelonade recipe includes hints of honey and lime juice for the most refreshing summer drink.

I have a difficult time making recipes like this watermelon lemonade with a watermelon because I feel like watermelon, in and of itself, is about as perfect as it can get. Just hand me a salt shaker and a knife and get out of my way!

But today’s watermelonade recipe is a special exception. Why? Because it is basically watermelon that you can drink. No knife, no stickiness, sit back with a straw, and drink the whole melon if the mood hits ya. I add just enough “extra” stuff to enhance the flavor, being careful not to detract from it.

These extra ingredients include lime juice to put the “lemonade” in watermelonade. Then I also add honey for sweetness and a touch of salt, which is totally optional. The instructions are as easy as they come. Just pop all the ingredients in a blender and blend it up until it’s liquefied. Then pour it into a cup filled with crushed ice and you have watermelon lemonade. This is the perfect refreshing drink to enjoy during summer.

So next time you go to buy (or pick) a watermelon, buy (or pick) two instead. Eat one, drink the other. You can’t go wrong! If you wanna see how I do it, skip right on down to the first picture. 

And now for the watermelonade.

Recipe Notes

• Feel free to substitute the lime juice for bottled or fresh lemon juice.
• Another popular substitution is using granulated sugar instead of honey for that added sweetness.
• Garnish with a lime slice (or lemon slice) and a fresh mint sprig.
• You can pour the watermelonade straight into a glass with ice. However, you may also like to strain it first for a smoother finish.
• If you seek an alcoholic watermelonade, add an ounce of vodka or tequila to your glass and give it a good stir before enjoying it. The perfect summer cocktail!
