Watermelon Lemonade: A Refreshing Fizzy Winter Drink

Ingredients

Seedless watermelon, pureed: 4 cups
Fresh lemon juice: 1/2 cup (about 4–5 medium lemons)
Sugar (or honey/any sweetener): 1/3 to 1/2 cup, to taste
Dallas lemon-flavored sparkling water (sugar-free): 1–2 bottles (depending on desired fizziness)
Fresh mint leaves: 10–15 leaves
Ice: as needed

Prepare the watermelon
- Place chopped watermelon, sugar (or honey), and about 5 mint leaves in a blender.
- Blend until smooth and well combined.
Strain the puree
- Pass the watermelon puree through a fine sieve, pressing with a spoon to extract all juice and leave the pulp. (This gives a clearer lemonade.)
Combine the main ingredients
- Pour the strained watermelon juice into a large pitcher.
- Add fresh lemon juice and stir. Taste and adjust sweetness or lemon juice if needed.
Finish with sparkling water and serve
- Fill serving glasses with ice.
- Pour sparkling water into the pitcher and stir gently to maintain fizziness.
- Pour lemonade into glasses and garnish with lemon slices and fresh mint. A small watermelon wedge can be added for decoration. می‌توانید از کمی برش هندوانه کوچک نیز برای تزئین استفاده کنید

Vibrant color: Add a teaspoon of cooked beet juice or pomegranate juice to enhance red color.
Healthy sweetener: Use honey or maple syrup instead of sugar. For a diet version, use calorie-free sweeteners.
Prevent dilution: To avoid watering down, freeze the watermelon before blending instead of using ice cubes.

Can the lemonade be prepared in advance?
Yes, mix the watermelon and lemon juice up to 2 days in the fridge. Add sparkling water just before serving to keep it fizzy.
