Hot weather requires a lot of refreshing and cooling beverages. Watermelons and lemons are the perfect flavors for summer time drinks. If it's scorching out, just mix a batch of this Watermelon Lemonade and you can sit back and cool off.
The kids had a great time making this drink with me and when they finished juicing and mixing it all up they drank it with happy smiles. Now that's what I call making some great summer time memories. :)
