Cooling watermelon lemonade


While it isn't quite summer in Seattle yet, it certainly feels that way. What better way to be prepared than with a delicious beverage in hand? Watermelons and lemons are both great for dispelling summer heat and, together, make a great variation on pink lemonade.

1 part freshly squeezed lemon juice
2 parts watermelon puree (blend chunks until liquid, then press through a sieve to eliminate seeds)
water or sparkling water
your favorite liquid sweetener (stevia, agave, fruit juice concentrate, simple syrup, etc.)

And that's it! Enjoy cool, but not ice-cold
