Not sure about you but for me a hot day and watermelon go hand in hand. This watermelon lemonade looks amazing but is super-simple to make. It’s perfect for a kids party or makes a refreshing summer drink for kids or adults.

  • Prep:

  • Ingredients

    • 1 large or 2 small watermelons
    • 250ml lemon juice (from a bottle or squeeze your own)
    • 100g monk fruit or sugar of your choice
    • 1 L bottle soda water
    • 1 lime, cut into slices
    • small handful mint
    • crushed ice

    Instructions

    • 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.
