Tips for Making the Best Watermelon Pink Lemonade

  • Choose a ripe watermelon. A ripe watermelon will be heavy for its size and have a deep red color. You can also thump the watermelon with your finger. If it sounds hollow, it's ripe.
  • Chill the watermelon and lemonade before serving. This will make the drink extra refreshing.
  • Add a squeeze of lime juice for a tart flavor.
  • Garnish the drink with a slice of watermelon or a sprig of mint.
  • Serve the drink immediately. Watermelon pink lemonade is best enjoyed fresh.
