Ingredients

  • 1 cup sugar
  • 5 cups water divided
  • 1 cup lemon juice 6-7 lemons
  • 6-7 cups cut watermelon pieces

Instructions

  • Use the sugar, water and lemons to make 6 cups of lemonade. For instructions go to the recipe for my homemade lemonade.
  • Add cut watermelon to a food processor or blender and process for about 2 minutes until it is liquid. Pour it through a wire mesh strainer, mashing the watermelon pulp to get all of the juice out. You should have 6 cups of watermelon juice.
  • Combine an equal amount of lemonade and watermelon juice and serve over ice.

Notes

  • This is best with homemade lemonade, but you can use your favorite brand.
