Hi REAL Housewives of Riverton readers! My name is Amber & I blog over at Dessert Now, Dinner Later! I am thrilled to be here while the housewives take a fun vacation. I love those ladies!

Today I am sharing a recipe that just kind of happened in my kitchen one morning. We bought a seedless watermelon that was less than desirable. The flavor wasn’t good, the texture wasn’t good & I was sad about the thought of throwing it out. I had recently seen this recipe on one of my friend’s blogs & I threw it together one morning when my little girl was asking for that nasty watermelon. Needless to say, I took one sip & immediately grabbed my camera! This recipe is so good it has to be shared!

You know those flavored lemonades you get at restaurants? This is like those, but better! And I don’t think they offer watermelon flavor, which should be a sin because it is so good! You are going to love sipping on this watermelon lemonade during these hot summer months! Try it! I know you will like it!

Watermelon Lemonade

Recipe lightly altered from Cheerios & Lattes by: Amber (Dessert Now, Dinner Later!)

5 cups cubed, seedless watermelon
4 cups water
1 cup Country Time Lemonade dry mix
Ice cubes

In a tall blender, combine watermelon & water. Blend until smooth.

Strain watermelon/water mixture into a large pitcher. Discard the pulp.

Add dry lemonade mix & stir until dissolved. Serve with ice cubes. (You may also blend the watermelon lemonade with a few ice cubes if you like.)

*Makes approximately 2 quarts.

**Straining the watermelon liquid is optional, if you don’t strain it, the lemonade is more foamy, but I like it smoother with less foam.
