Refreshing Pink Lemonade

When the temperature is sweltering, you need a nice cold beverage to cool you off! This Refreshing Pink Lemonade is exactly what you need on a hot summer's day. This is a family-friendly drink, but if you want to make it adults-only, just add a shot or two of vodka!
Total Time 5 minutes

Equipment

  • 1 Blender

Ingredients

  • 1 cup Member's Markā„¢ Premium Cane Sugar

For the Lemonade

  • In a blender, blend fresh watermelon pieces and lemon juice. Use a fine mesh strainer to remove the pulp.
