Watermelon Raspberry Lemonade

With summer in full swing we all need something refreshing to quench our thirst. I am big advocate of drinking water, at times we all need something different. This Watermelon raspberry lemonade is just perfect for the season.

Why is this the best lemonade 

Lemonades made with just lemons and sugar can get boring very quickly. But when we add extra fruits, it not only adds flavor but also gives a beautiful color to the drink. Raspberry is one of the least consumed in our house and it was perfect to use it in the lemonade. 

Also watermelon is in full season and this lemonade is a perfect use of a large watermelon. 

And this recipe is very adaptable. If you don't find raspberry, use strawberry instead. Or even better, use a mixture of berries to make it into a delicious Watermelon Berry Lemonade.

Watermelon Raspberry Lemonade

Ingredients to make Watermelon Raspberry Lemonade – (serves 4-6)

  • Seedless watermelon (cubed) – 6 cups
  • Raspberries – ¼ cup
  • Sugar – ⅓ cup
  • Lemon juice – from 2 lemons (about ½ cup)
  • Water – 1 cup
  • Ice – to serve

Procedure –

  • Place watermelon, raspberries and water in a blender and blend until smooth.
  • Add sugar and lemon juice. Stir well until the sugar dissolves. I strained the juice, since it was a little too thick for my liking, but you could leave it as is in the refrigerator for at least an hour to chill.
  • Serve the Lemonade over ice in glasses garnished with more fruit.
