Print Recipe

A quick and easy 3-ingredient summer drink combining fresh watermelon, lemon juice, and sweetener for a refreshing and hydrating lemonade perfect for hot days.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 cups cubed seedless watermelon (about 600 grams)
  • 1/2 cup freshly squeezed lemon juice (about 3–4 medium lemons)
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar or honey (adjust to taste)
  • Optional: pinch of salt
  • Optional: fresh mint leaves for garnish

Instructions

  1. Cut about 4 cups of seedless watermelon into cubes, discarding any seeds if present.
  2. Place the watermelon cubes into a blender. Pulse a few times, then blend on high for about 1 minute until smooth and juicy.
  3. Pour the blended watermelon through a fine mesh strainer or cheesecloth into a large bowl or pitcher, pressing the pulp gently to extract as much juice as possible.
  4. Roll 3-4 medium lemons on the counter, cut in half, and juice until you have about 1/2 cup of fresh lemon juice. Strain to remove seeds.
  5. Add the fresh lemon juice and 1/4 cup of granulated sugar (or chosen sweetener) to the watermelon juice. Stir vigorously until the sugar dissolves. Adjust sweetness or tartness as needed, adding a pinch of salt if desired.
  6. Refrigerate the lemonade for at least 30 minutes before serving. Serve over ice with optional mint leaves or lemon slices.

Notes

Use ripe, sweet watermelon for best flavor. Strain juice for a smooth texture. Adjust sweetness gradually. Keep ingredients chilled for maximum refreshment. Optional garnishes include fresh mint or lemon slices. For a low-carb version, substitute sugar with erythritol or stevia. Avoid blending watermelon too long to prevent warming the juice.
