It’s been pretty perfect patio weather here in the midwest, and I’ve got a drink that can bring a little extra sunshine to your backyard gathering. This Watermelon Lemonade is simple to make, it’s filled with vitamin C from both the watermelon and lemon, and its color is gorgeous.
If you’re feeling fancy, top it off with sparkling water (or champagne if your backyard gathering includes mimosas) and extra lemon garnishes.
