I make this all the time, but I juice the watermelon so that there's no pulp to deal with and make the lemonade separately, with very little sugar given the sweetness of the watermelon. I also add tons of fresh mint, then remove the mint for overnight storage, if any doesn't get finished by my guests (it almost always does.) It's SO refreshing. And it's great with tequila too, not just vodka :) In the 70's, Naked Juice used to market watermelon mint lemonade; been making this ever since they stopped selling it.

Finally made this after nearly 4 years (or longer?) being on my to-do! Super sweet though with the "lemonade." I'll try watering it down a bit. Lime seems like it would add a good tartness. Otherwise this is a nice summer drink!

I loved this drink!! I became heavier handed with the watermelon juice the second time around. The watermelon totally brought down the tart flavor of the lemonade and added such a fruity wonderful flavor.

I made this for a fireworks viewing party last night and used it as a base for a signature cocktail - adding vodka, a spritz of lemon seltzer, blueberries and mint. It was super delicious! Thank you!

Planning a backyard BBQ birthday party for about 15 people- Do you think this would work well in a pitcher?

This sounds delish. I emailed it to my daughters. I am sure my granddaughters will love it-especially the 3 oldest who are all cheerleaders in KY. I actually made something sort of like this when they were here one time. I am sure this will be better. I think my youngest granddaughter and grandson will find it refreshing, also.

It's necessary to take off the seeds from the watermelon or can I blended with them?

I followed the recipe exactly and it came out beautifully. So refreshing and the right balance of sweet and sour.

So glad you liked it! And that pink color is almost as great as the taste, huh?
