Whew!
Is it me or are the days getting hotter in this part of the world?
Not only do I prefer eating food that requires no cooking, I also get thirsty every five minutes.
I thought it’s just right to make my favorite drink of all time — Lemonade!! I also thought we should take advantage of Watermelons which are cheaper this time of the year to our good old Lemonade a twist.
This Watermelon Lemonade is good company while I do a marathon of my favorite crime/drama series. I’m done with NCIS L.A. and Hawaii Five-O. Yaaayy!! Finally!
Tonight, I shall move on to the latest season of Arrow…
I initially thought this Watermelon Lemonade is a bad idea and that it’s gonna be weird. It’s surprisingly not and it turned out to be quite refreshing. I think I’m gonna be adding some mint leaves next time.
My niece Cyvrine told me I should call it WaterLemon. I should, shouldn’t I?

Sounds refreshing and delicious! Perfect for this time of year. Enjoy and blessings, Catherine
It is perfect this time of the year.
This drink looks so gorgeous and interesting and summery that even if it didn’t taste good, it would be wonderful to see it sitting on a table. However, I would think that the two would compliment each other. You tested it, so the theory holds. Again I love the look of it.
I know! It still looks gorgeous and worth experimenting on!
Ohhh! Watermelon + lemonade = AWESOME! I haven’t tried this one, but such a great combination that I never thought of before. I love it, and can’t wait to try. Love the refreshing watermelon cubes in the juice! <3

I do hope you give this a try, Kumar.
Now I need to find me a watermelon. Last year I made watermelon coolers which were very labor intensive. This year I’ll be making this. Great looking lemonade Peachy and I bet it’s perfect for relieving the summer heat.
Thanks MJ!
