What I made for Lemon Week:

Rosemary Watermelon Lemonade Ingredients

Have you ever made your own lemonade before? It might seem tedious to squeeze a bunch of lemons but I swear it’s the best lemonade you’ll ever have and you don’t need a whole lot of ingredients. Today’s version adds in rosemary and watermelon for something a little different.

Rosemary Watermelon Lemonade Ingredients:

  • Seedless watermelon
  • Fresh lemon juice
  • Fresh rosemary
  • Sugar
  • Water
  • Tequila or Vodka (optional)

First, you made a rosemary simple syrup. Then all you have to do is mix with a little more water, watermelon puree, and fresh lemon juice. Just like that you’ve made your very own rosemary watermelon lemonade that the whole family will love. But if you’re looking for a spiked version, add a little tequila or vodka. Mix up a Watermelon Mojito while you’re at it too.
