Watermelon Lemonade

I totally just got this new recipe and tweaked it a little. With the 80 degree weather and extra watermelon, I had to try it. It's crisp, cool, and filled with delicious fruits.

The trick to making it just perfect is boiling the simply sugar recipe, don't skip it, just do it. I absolutely love this recipe and you will too! 


Sugar Syrup:
1 cups water
1 cup sugar (for more sugary flavor you can make it 2 cups but I narrowed it down, way too sweet) 

Lemonade:
2 cups water
2 cups freshly squeezed lemon juice
1 cup freshly squeezed lime juice
4 cups ice cubes
2 cups diced watermelon
2 cups diced pineapple 
1 orange, sliced into rounds
1/2 lemon, sliced into rounds
1/2 lime, sliced into rounds

To make sugar syrup: Combine the water and sugar in a medium saucepan. Turn the heat to medium-high and boil for 10 minutes. If you are planning to make the lemonade immediately, place 2 cups of the sugar water in the freezer or fridge). 

To make the lemonade: Mix 2 cups of sugar syrup, water, lemon juice, and lime juice in a big bowl or pitcher. Add the ice cubes, diced watermelon and other fruit. Add the orange, lemon, and lime rounds. Stir well and chill until icy cold. Enjoy!
