    Sparkling Watermelon Lemonade

    Jump to Recipe

    This Sparking Watermelon Lemonade is an incredibly satisfying and refreshing summer drink! The added sparkling water gives this drink a cocktail feel but without the alcohol. It's the perfect drink to end the night but is also refreshing enough to drink outside by a pool or in the park on a hot day. Wherever you end up taking your glass of Sparkling Watermelon Lemonade, I hope you enjoy!

    This drink comes together fast and easy. Simply juice lemons until you have 1 cup of fresh juice. Mix the lemon juice with the sugar of your choice and set aside. Cube 4 ½ cups of watermelon and add to a blender. Blend until smooth and then you'll want to strain it in to a pitcher. Mix the watermelon juice with the sweetened lemon juice and mix well. Pour ¾ of the watermelon lemonade in to a glass with ice and top off with sparkling water. If you're feeling extra fancy and going for that cocktail feel, add a cane sugar and fresh thyme rim!
