To make this refreshing lemonade, the juicy flesh of a ripe, seedless watermelon is blended and combined with simple syrup, freshly squeezed lime juice, and sparkling water. All ingredients should be well chilled so the lemonade can be served immediately. Instead of regular ice cubes, add frozen watermelon cubes to each glass. It makes a delicious and healthy homemade lemonade.
