How To Make Watermelon juice

To make watermelon lemonade or any other watermelon drink you will need to make watermelon juice. Making watermelon juice is very easy to do.

  1. Buy a seedless watermelon.
  2. Scoop the sweet red flesh from the watermelon and put it in a blender.
  3. Cover the blender and pulse until the watermelon flesh has become liquefied.
  4. You can use the watermelon juice as is or you can strain it through a fine meshed strainer to remove all the bits of watermelon if desired.
  5. To make 2 cups of watermelon juice you will need about 4 cups of watermelon flesh.

Watermelon Drinks

As much as I love sipping on a cold glass of watermelon lemonade I also love making Watermelon Aqua Fresca.


Watermelon Aqua Fresca is a lightly sweetened watermelon water poured over ice cubes that is very refreshing on a hot summer day.
