This watermelon lemonade is my go to recipe during hot summer days, and I love how refreshingly simple it is to make. The whole thing comes together in just 15 minutes, so you'll have a pitcher of cold, delicious drink ready before your guests even arrive. Watermelon is packed with lycopene, a powerful antioxidant that's great for your heart, and combined with fresh lemon juice, it creates the most naturally sweet and tangy flavor without needing much added sugar. Best of all, it costs almost nothing to throw together with ingredients you probably already have at home.
