Prep Time 35 minutes

Yield 8

Number Of Ingredients 7

1 large or 2 small watermelons
250ml lemon juice (from a bottle or squeeze your own)
100g golden caster sugar
1l bottle soda water
1 lime , cut into slices
small handful mint
crushed ice

Steps:

  • Cut the top off the watermelon and hollow it out using a large spoon, fishing out any pips along the way. Mash the flesh through a sieve into a bowl. Put the flesh in a blender (or use a tall jug and hand blender) with the lemon juice and sugar, whizz to a purée, then stir in the soda.
  • Heap some ice into the hollowed-out watermelon and fill it with the lemonade mixture. Serve the rest in a jug with the lime slices and mint. Have a bowl of extra crushed ice on the side so people can help themselves.

SPIKED WATERMELON LEMONADE RECIPE | SOUTHERN LIVING



Spiked Watermelon Lemonade Recipe | Southern Living image

Your local lemonade stand's got nothing on this summer cocktail refresher. A glass of tangy, sweet lemonade is an old-fashioned Southern standby, but it could use an update. For an icy, pink-tinted drink that's made for the shade, we experimented here, elevating the summertime favorite by adding a splash of vodka and watermelon juice. This is one boozy beverage you won't want to pass up! Not to mention, it's an interesting yet refreshing way to serve lemonade at your next cookout or potluck. Made with only four ingredients, this recipe is so simple to prepare. It comes together in just 15 minutes, allowing more time for more important things like porch swinging. Because what's better than a warm evening spent sipping a cold glass of lemonade on a porch swing? For starters, combine vodka, watermelon juice, simple syrup, and lemon juice in a cocktail shaker. Then strain the mixture into a glass, and garnish with mint or a lemon wheel for a cool summer sipper. The watermelon acts as a natural sweetener in this recipe to balance the bitter taste of vodka, and helps it to go down easier with less burn. Whereas, the lemon juice gives this infused, thirst-quenching libation a little zing. If you're not the vodka or whiskey-drinking type, feel free to omit it, using sparkling water, club soda, or ginger ale in its place to make an equally fizzy cocktail. You can even make this spiked lemonade ahead of time. We recommend serving in a mason jar on ice to make the perfect grab-and-go cocktail. Pair this refreshing drink with any meal, although we suggest something on the lighter side. For summer get-togethers or parties, adjust the recipe's ingredients to make a full pitcher or large batch. It's like summer in a glass, and good to the very last drop.
