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.

Nice recipe tho. But I can replace the mint with ginger and cloves since they both give a good flavour
Why add sugar? it seems as though it would be plenty sweet enough with the pineapple and watermelon, in my opinion. I’m going to try it without any and see. Thanks for the recipe.
Recipe says 1/4 cup sugar. Directions say 1/2 cup. Which is correct? It look delicious. Can’t wait to try it.
The recipe lists 1/4 cup sugar. The direction lists 1/2 cup water.
I will deffinately make some for my family – this week end
I gotta try this. Watermelon/pineapple sounds like an awesome combo, thanks for the idea
So can you add pineapple pieces and watermelon pieces when serving?
I was going to serve it in a large glass punch bowl for a party.
Yes, absolutely. What a great idea!

I never thought pineapple and watermelon would go together! Looks incredible! I’m going to whip this up next time I have friends over ;D Thank you for sharing. I’ve been lurking around your site for awhile now, your simple recipes really inspire me during my everyday cooking!
You can purchase these juices at your local grocery store, or you can blend cubes of fresh watermelon and strain as needed.
Yum! Exactly what I need to fight this Atlanta heat!
This drink is really refreshing and incredibly easy to make. Thanks a lot for sharing this recipe. 🙂
Wow this looks so incredibly refreshing! The perfect summer lemonade! (for staying inside all day binge watching Orange Is The New Black)
I just made some chilli popcorn, and this here lemonade looks exactly like what I need now to cool down! And it looks beautiful 😀 x

Nothing is quite as refreshing as watermelon! This looks so good!!
