Watermelon Pineapple Lemonade
A fun twist on the traditional lemonade that’s wonderfully tangy, sweet, refreshing and incredibly easy to whip up!
It is officially summer and the weather has reached the 90s here. And with this summer heat, I should really head to the beach and cool down but instead, I have holed up at home with this lemonade instead.
It’s much more refreshing than sitting alongside the ocean with sand in your hair. It gets even better as you binge-watch Orange is the New Black with this lemonade in hand.
Summer, I am so glad you are finally here.

So when you say watermelon juice, does that mean blend some in the blender or is that something you can go out and buy at the store? And the same for the other juices?
You can purchase these juices at your local grocery store, or you can blend cubes of fresh watermelon and strain as needed.
It’s super hot here too, so something like this is definitely needed! Love the flavour!
