Some drinks don’t just refresh—they revive. Watermelon Mint Lemonade is one of those drinks. It’s the perfect balance of sweet watermelon, zesty lemon, and crisp mint—blended together into an icy, vibrant pink refreshment that tastes like sunshine and backyard vibes.

Whether you’re hosting brunch, lounging on the porch, or just looking for a beautiful way to beat the heat, this lemonade brings brightness to every sip. And yes—it’s just as good as a mocktail or dressed up as a cocktail.

Why We’re Obsessed

Watermelon is naturally sweet and hydrating, mint cools everything down, and lemon adds a tangy kick that makes the flavor pop. This drink isn’t just tasty—it’s stunning. Serve it over ice with a few mint leaves and watermelon wedges and you’ve got instant elegance with zero effort.

Ingredients You’ll Need

For the Lemonade:

• 4 cups fresh watermelon, cubed and seedless
• ¾ cup fresh lemon juice (about 4–5 lemons)
• ½ cup fresh mint leaves, loosely packed
• ¼ to ⅓ cup honey or agave syrup (adjust to taste)
• 1½ cups cold water
• Ice for serving

Optional Cocktail Add-In:

• 1–2 oz vodka, gin, or white rum per serving
• Garnish: mint sprigs, lemon slices, or small watermelon wedges

How to Make It

1. Blend the Base
Add watermelon cubes, lemon juice, mint leaves, and sweetener of choice to a high-speed blender. Blend until completely smooth.

2. Strain (Optional)
If you prefer a smoother texture, strain the mixture through a fine mesh sieve into a pitcher. Otherwise, leave it pulpy for extra flavor and fiber.

3. Add Water and Chill
Stir in cold water and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes. This lets the mint and citrus infuse deeper into the watermelon.

4. Serve and Sip
Fill glasses with ice, pour the lemonade over top, and garnish with extra mint and fruit. For the cocktail version, add your preferred spirit and stir.

Tips & Twists

• Use sparkling water instead of still for a fizzy finish

• Add cucumber slices for a spa-inspired twist
• Make a slushy version by blending with crushed ice

Perfect For:
